Morel went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Orioles.
The Cubs are now 10 games under .500 after suffering their third consecutive loss Tuesday, but Morel continues to be a revelation in as the club veers toward a second straight non-contending season. Morel has turned in multi-hit efforts in three of his last four starts to bring his season average up to .298.
