Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton gave up just four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings while striking out six but didn't factor into the decision in his team's 4-3 win over the Cubs.
The Pirates couldn't have asked for more out of Morton, who gave up just one earned run in 11 spring innings before pitching well in his season debut. However, he wasn't able to pick up the win after the bullpen let him down in the 16-inning game. Morton will get a second chance at getting his first win against the Cubs in Chicago Tuesday.
