Last 3.1 frames on short rest Morton pitched 3.1 innings and didn't factor in the decision during the Game 4 victory over the Brewers in the NLDS on Tuesday. He gave up two runs on four hits with five strikeout... Impact The right-hander was never likely to pitch deep in Tuesday's contest while on short rest, and he was pulled during the fourth inning after giving up one run on two hits and a walk. Jesse Chavez then entered in relief and allowed another of Morton's baserunners to score. Max Fried figures to start Game 1 of the NLCS on Saturday, while Ian Anderson and Morton (on regular rest) will be in the mix to pitch Sunday in Game 2.
