Braves roll dice with Charlie Morton on short rest, Joc Pederson starting Game 4

Brian Snitker isn’t planning on leaving any bullets in the chamber. The Atlanta Braves are bringing back Charlie Morton for Game 4 as they attempt to eliminate the Milwaukee Brewers and advance to the NLCS for the second straight year. Brian Snitker told reporters Tuesday that they spoke with Morton Monday and he confirmed that he felt good physically so they decided to go with it.

“We talked to Charlie yesterday and he’s great with it,” Snitker said of the decision. “I wanted to make sure he was great with it physically. He went out, threw the ball around yesterday, felt good.
