"September 7 - Charlie Morton had one of his best outings of the season against the Chicago White Sox. Following two subpar performances, though, the veteran right-hander will look to bounce back in the finale of the Detroit Tigers' three-game home series against the White Sox on Sunday afternoon. Pitching for Baltimore earlier this season, Morton (9-10, 5.51 ERA) didn't allow an earned run in 6 2/3 innings against Chicago on June 1 while recording his second victory."
"The last pitch he threw wound up over Comerica Park's right field wall. Mets slugger Juan Soto, who has given Morton fits, crushed a hanging curveball for a grand slam. "It just kind of came out of my hand weird, like it didn't really spin great, didn't really move great," Morton said. "It wasn't like I wasn't trying to throw a good pitch. I just didn't throw a good pitch. And he just put a great swing on it.""
"Davis Martin (6-9, 4.06 ERA) will start on Sunday for Chicago (54-89). The right-hander has three wins and two no-decisions in his last five outings; he held Minnesota to three runs in six innings on Monday in Chicago's 6-5 victory. He'll look to avenge his worst start of the season on April 5. In that game, Martin gave up seven runs and nine hits in five innings in a 7-2 loss to the Tigers."
Charlie Morton (9-10, 5.51 ERA) has shown both strong and poor starts since joining the Tigers at the July trade deadline. He allowed no earned runs in 6 2/3 innings against Chicago on June 1 and holds a 1.70 ERA in six career starts versus the White Sox. Morton surrendered five runs to Oakland and six runs in 3 2/3 innings to the Mets, including a Juan Soto grand slam. The Tigers will start Morton in the series finale while Chicago counters with Davis Martin (6-9, 4.06 ERA), who has mixed results but recent positive outings.
