Charlie Morton Strikes Out Eight in Quality Start
by Emily Maingi | Braves Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 11:40am EDT
Charlie Morton delivered a solid performance against the Giants on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings in the Braves' 4-3 victory.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat turbulent season for Morton, characterized by a higher-than-desirable 4.48 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. His ability to rack up strikeouts remains evident with a 9.0 K/9 rate, but his 4.78 FIP suggests that some underlying issues persist. Despite these challenges, Morton's latest performance could reassure fantasy managers, especially those in need of strikeouts and quality starts. However, his inconsistency this season should prompt caution in relying too heavily on him for every matchup.
