Braves pitcher Charlie Morton exited Atlanta's Game 1 World Series win over the Astros in the third inning on Tuesday, but he certainly gave Atlanta all he could in an abbreviated outing.
Morton was hit on the right leg by a line drive from Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel in the second inning, an incident that ultimately resulted in a fractured fibula. But Morton didn't immediately exit the game. He registered three consecutive outs on an effectively broken leg, including a strikeout of Astros star Jose Altuve. With the chance at another championship ring on the line, Morton delivered more than his best effort.
