Morton allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings Tuesday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.
Morton held the Mets scoreless through six innings, but he opened the seventh inning by allowing a single, a walk and then a three-run home run to spoil his otherwise stellar outing. Despite the disappointing conclusion, Morton continued his strong form of late, as he's still surrendered only three earned runs across his last three starts (20.2 innings). Overall, Morton has a 3.74 ERA with a 100:29 K:BB across 86.2 frames.
