Morton (13-5) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Morton was dominant once again, posting his 12th quality start in 15 outings since June 17. The only two hits the 37-year-old gave up were to Raimel Tapia, who led off the fourth with a triple before scoring to put the Rockies on the board. Morton later gave up a second run in the seventh after issuing a leadoff walk and eventually allowing the runner to score on a sacrifice fly. His four strikeouts were the lowest total he's had since June 11 but he was still able to generate 14 whiffs. He now sits at a 3.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 185:51 K:BB over 158 innings and lines up to face the Marlins at home next weekend.
