Morton allowed three hits over seven scoreless frames in Friday's loss to the Cubs. He struck out nine without walking a batter and did not factor in the decision.
Morton coughed up just three singles but he also hit two batters. Still, he cruised through seven innings and was left with a no-decision as Atlanta was handed a 1-0 loss. He's registered a 29:4 K:BB over his last three starts, giving him a 75:26 mark on the year in 67.1 innings. Morton's ERA still sits at a disappointing 5.08 through 13 starts. He's expected to start at home against the Giants next week.
