Pirates starting pitcher Charlie Morton twirled a gem, but was not backed by any run support on Monday against the Cardinals, settling for a no-decision. The right-hander yielded one hit and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings.

Over his last three starts covering 20 innings, Morton has allowed only three earned runs. He owns a 3.10 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP over 18 starts (113 1/3 innings). He will make his next start Saturday at Cincinnati.
