Morton has memorable finale vs. Cubs: Drawing on his previous Wrigley Field experience, Charlie Morton knew exactly what not to do. Don't fall behind batters, don't pitch timidly, don't panic. And this time, he didn't. Seven weeks after getting lit up for 10 runs by the Cubs, Morton pitched a four-hitter as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated Chicago 4-0 Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. "I try not to put so much emphasis on one game," he said of his performance in the 17-2 loss on Aug. 14. "But it's a big step in the sense that, yeah, I came here and gave up 10 runs in an inning. "This time ... I was throwing pretty much everything for strikes, more than I have been. Just being more aggressive with my pitches." Morton (5-9), a 25-year-old right-hander who hadn't pitched more than seven innings in a game, also set a career high with eight strikeouts. Acquired in the June 3 trade that sent Nate McLouth to Atlanta, he walked three and hit two batters.

Fantasy Analysis

Morton certainly struggled this season and he still only won three of his final 10 decisions. Of course, he was pitching for one of the worst teams in baseball. He'll be a sleeper next season for the Pirates as a young starter hoping to build on a solid finale.
