Pirates right-hander Charlie Morton had been pitching well, but in bad luck. On Wednesday, he pitched poorly and in bad luck.
Morton again got no run support in a shutout loss to the Mets. But he did himself no favors by giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and four walks in just 5 1/3 innings as his record fell to 1-7. He was removed from the game after giving up a home run to David Wright in the sixth inning.
His next start is set for Monday in San Diego.
