Pirates starter Charlie Morton (0-5) was pegged with the loss Sunday night against the Cardinals. The right-hander permitted four runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and one walk while striking out three in six innings of a 6-5 defeat.
Over his last three starts covering 19 1/3 innings, Morton has allowed only three earned runs. He is expected to make his next start Saturday against the Yankees in New York. He is 0-2 with a 4.42 ERA in three starts away from home.
