Overview
- In his first return to Truist Park, Morton allowed two runs over 5⅓ innings and improved to 5-0 in 10 appearances since May 10.
- Since rejoining Baltimore’s rotation on May 26, he has posted a 2.97 ERA across 36⅓ innings in seven starts.
- Jordan Westburg hit a solo home run and finished with three hits after returning from a left index finger sprain.
- Cedric Mullins added a two-run 13th homer and Tyler O’Neill recorded a single and a walk in his first game off the injured list.
- The 41-year-old’s strong stretch and expiring one-year contract have fueled speculation he could be Baltimore’s top trade chip before the July 31 deadline.
