Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton was solid over three innings Sunday.
Morton gave up five hits and one earned run. He was hurt by a Pedro Alvarez error in the second inning. Morton should have been out of the inning if not for a fielding error, and two runs wound up scoring. Those two runs were not charged to Morton. He struck out one batter, and issued one walk.
Morton posted a 3.26 ERA in 116 innings last year.
