Morton (5-2) allowed four runs on four hits and four walks across 5.2 innings in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Yankees. He struck out 10.
Morton cruised through the early portion of the game but ran into trouble in the fifth when Matt Holiday cracked a three-run home run to right following an RBI single from Brett Gardner. He was staked to a massive lead at the time, so he carried on into the sixth before he was pulled after 102 pitches. Morton has now walked four in each of his last two starts, but he continues to strike out batters at a high rate and now carries an excellent, almost league-leading 10.7 K/9 to go along with his respectable 3.97 ERA. He will look to continue his strong start to the season Saturday against the Indians.
