ST. PETERSBURG — In talking about being chosen for the American League All-Star team, Charlie Morton has made a point to say he was disappointed that more of his Rays teammates besides Austin Meadows weren’t selected.
There is some symmetry to that, because those Rays teammates, and staff, were incredibly pleased to see Morton get rewarded for his impressive performance.
Morton put that form on display again Tuesday in working a stellar seven innings, leading the Rays by the Orioles 6-3 for their fourth straight win.
Morton improved his record to 9-2 and lowered his ERA to 2.
