Charlie Morton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Starting pitcher Charlie Morton got obliterated in Thursday's outing versus the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran only last 2 2/3 innings, allowing nine hits, eight runs, one walk and striking out three. Morton allowed four homeruns in the contest, on his way to his seventh loss of the season. The veteran has had some big blowout performances like this on the season, but also has shined in others, making him frustrating to rely on. With his strikeouts also down this season, he has become more of a streamer down the stretch for managers. Despite a few rough starts of late, Morton will look to get back on track versus the San Francisco Giants as part of a two-start week that also features a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton improved his record to 6-6 with Thursday's victory against the division rival Miami Marlins. The 40-year-old earned his ninth quality start of the season by tossing six innings, in which he allowed one run (zero earned), two walks and six strikeouts. It was a very big bounce back for Morton, who got hit hard for seven runs (five earned) in his previous outing versus the New York Mets. Morton has been solid this season with a 3.94 ERA, but he has also been hit hard in some matchups. As it stands, Morton is best suited as a streamer moving forward. His next start will come at home against a good Milwaukee Brewers lineup on Wednesday.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton (5-4) dominated his former team Friday night allowing no runs in 6 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts on three hits and no walks in a 6-1 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a tough May where the 40-year-old right-hander produced an ugly 5.04 ERA, he reversed course in June by putting up a 3.10 ERA. Although the stats are a little misleading as Morton went 2-0 with one run allowed in 18 1/3 innings, but allowed an ugly 10 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings pitched in two losses. Despite all of that he lowered his ERA on the season to 3.89. Look for Morton to continue the momentum from this start in his first July start against San Francisco Giants next week.
