Charlie Morton Strikes Out Eight in No-Decision
by Nate Miller | Braves Correspondent | Wed, May 22nd 8:45am EDT
Charlie Morton delivered a mixed performance in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs, allowing one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the high strikeout count, Morton's control issues persisted as evidenced by the four walks, inflating his pitch count and leading to an early exit. This outing slightly improved his solid season ERA to 3.35 and WHIP to 1.20, maintaining his relevance in fantasy rotations. However, his elevated walk rate could be a concern if it continues, potentially impacting his efficiency and effectiveness in future starts.
