Overview

• Charlie Morton delivered 5⅓ innings of two-run ball with seven strikeouts, improving to 5-0 since May 26 and lowering his ERA to 2.97 across seven starts.
• Jordan Westburg returned from a left index finger sprain to go 3-for-4 and launch his eighth homer in the third inning.
• Cedric Mullins’s two-run fifth-inning shot and Tyler O’Neill’s single and walk in his first game back supplied all of Baltimore’s offense.
• Félix Bautista worked a perfect ninth inning to earn his 17th save in 18 chances and preserve the 3-2 victory.
• The win gives Baltimore a 1-0 lead in the Atlanta series and spotlights Morton’s appeal as a potential trade-deadline asset.
