The Atlanta Braves climbed back to the .500 mark for the season with a 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night at Fenway Park. Charlie Morton escaped some early trouble to turn in one of his best pitching performances of the season.
“I got into a jam early and they hit a couple balls right at people,” said Morton referring to the first inning where Christian Vazquez lined into a double play with the bases loaded. That play came two pitches after Morton bounced a breaking ball that hit Rafael Devers to force in Boston’s only run of the evening.
