Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton didn't factor into the decision Tuesday after giving up just one unearned run on three hits and two walks in eight innings while striking out three in his team's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Morton broke a streak of four straight losses with a no-decision that deserved to be a win, with his only unearned blemish coming on a sacrifice fly in the second inning. He owns a 3.45 ERA and 28:16 K:BB ratio in 44 1/3 innings. Morton is on track to face the Brewers Tuesday after two off-days for the Pirates, though the team could consider bumping him up to Sunday if it wants to give the rehabbing Wandy Rodriguez a little extra time.
