Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton stayed hot and moved to 6-3 in Wednesday's start against the Brewers, surrendering just one unearned run on five hits and three walks while striking out two in 6 2/3 innings in his team's 7-1 win over the Brewers.

Morton has ripped off five straight quality starts to close out August, lowering his ERA to 3.14 to go with a 1.29 WHIP and 57:21 K:BB ratio. He takes on the Brewers again Monday.
