Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton moved to 4-3 in his team's 4-2 win over the Marlins Wednesday, allowing just two earned runs on six hits while striking out five and walking none in seven innings.
Morton needed just 86 pitches to complete seven innings but was removed for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh. The seven-inning effort matched his longest of the season. He brings a 3.88 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB ratio into Tuesday's start against the Cardinals.
