At 38 years old, Atlanta Braves veteran pitcher Charlie Morton can still churn out gems on the mound. There’s little to argue about that, especially after his scintillating performance on Sunday against the Houston Astros, albeit in a 5-4 loss in this matchup’s three-game series finale. Morton was dealing serious stuff in that contest, as he exited the game after six innings with 11 strikeouts and just two earned runs on five hits.
Braves manager Brian Snitker was definitely impressed with the kind of havoc Charlie Morton wreaked on the hill, jokingly saying after the game that the pitcher could stay in the majors until he’s 60.
