Braves' Charlie Morton hurt; Phils' J.T. Realmuto makes history

PHILADELPHIA -- In his first postseason start since suffering a fractured foot last October, Atlanta Braves right-hander Charlie Morton had to leave Game 4 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies after taking a line drive off his pitching elbow in the second inning.

Morton, 38, actually finished the inning, after giving up a three-run homer to Brandon Marsh, but couldn't continue after warming up for the third. He was replaced by Collin McHugh, who promptly gave up an inside-the-park home run to Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto.
