Charlie Morton’s battled a fair bit of adversity so far this season. He’s been doomed by big innings. He had that one horrendous start where he didn’t make it past the first. His HR/FB is elevated. But, tonight, he was just plain bad, and the team couldn’t bail him out. As a result, the Braves lost 4-3, their third straight defeat.
The Braves got on the board quickly, as Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the game with a walk, stole second (initially called out, overturned on replay review), moved to third on a groundout, and came around to score on an Ozzie Albies single to right.
