The Atlanta Braves are hot and so is right-hander Charlie Morton, who is set to take the mound Sunday in the finale of a four-game series against the host Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Braves (90-45) have won the first three games of the series that was billed as a titanic duel pitting the best team in the National League in the Braves against the Dodgers (83-52), who were better than anybody in August.
The difference in Atlanta's 4-2 victory Saturday was Orlando Arcia's three-run home run in the 10th inning.
