Charlie Morton was unable to make it out of the fifth inning and the Atlanta Braves came up short in a 6-4 loss Sunday afternoon to the Chicago Cubs.
Morton got off to a good start with a pair of scoreless innings to start the game. The Braves got on the board first in the third as Ronald Acuña Jr. singled and then swiped his 53rd stolen base of the season. After a strikeout by Ozzie Albies and a fly out by Austin Riley, Matt Olson came to the plate and delivered his 39th homer of the year to put Atlanta in front 2-0.
