Turns in quality start Morton allowed a run on two hits and struck out eight over six innings versus the Mets on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The only damage on the right-hander's line was a Jonathan Villar solo home run in the fourth inning. Morton hadn't posted a quality start since April 20. The 37-year-old has a 4.60 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB across 45 innings this season. He'll look to maintain this level of performance next week versus Boston.

Allows three runs in no-decision Morton allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact Morton has been quite inconsistent to begin the season, and he's now allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts. The right-hander hasn't pitched more than six innings in any of his first eight starts of the year, and he's posted a 5.08 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 39 innings. Morton tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Mets on Tuesday.

Doesn't last one inning Friday Morton (2-2) took the loss Friday in a 12-2 rout at the hands of the Phillies, coughing up six unearned runs on four hits and two walks over only two-thirds of an inning. He struck...
Impact A William Contreras passed ball on a Rhys Hoskins strikeout allowed the Philly first baseman to get aboard, and Morton seemed to unravel after that, and the right-hander finally exited the game after he walked Zach Eflin. The Contreras gaffe saved Morton's ERA, but he isn't giving Atlanta the length and consistency they were hoping for when they signed him in the offseason. He'll carry a 4.98 ERA and 40:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings, numbers right in line with last year's performance for Tampa Bay, into his next outing.
