Hopefully this is the end of the losing streak. Charlie has an 11-10 record with a 3.71 ERA this year. Those stats aren't that bad, but his last five games have not been good at all. Morton is 1-4 in his last five games and the deepest he has gone into a game is six innings. That was against the Angels on July 31st. In his past five starts, Morton has pitched 24.2 innings and given up 16 runs on 25 hits. That's an ERA of 5.95 in that stretch. So, he's almost giving up six runs a game. Even with the Braves offense being one of the best in the MLB, it's hard to manage six runs a game. One of the biggest issues that has plagued Morton lately is his walk rate. He has walked 22 hitters and only struck out 21 hitters over that same five-game stretch.  |

The Yankees are a remedy for all pitchers that are struggling. |

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees’ rotation is in dire straits, down several arms and trotting out a hapless Luis Severino on a weekly basis. But pitching coach Matt Blake mentioned a few players that would be on the radar if the Yankees decided to add a different arm to the mix. “I think [Clayton] Beeter would be in the conversation. I think Mitch Spence would be in the conversation... Obviously, Will Warren’s on the radar” said Blake. Warren and Beeter, while well-regarded prospects, have only recently been promoted to Triple-A and have had growing pains at the level. Spence is a less-heralded prospect, but has more experience in the high minors, with a 4.76 ERA across 250 innings the last two seasons.

If they can go five innings and have an ERA of 8.00 or less, let them in. It would be an improvement. |

According to ESPN the Yankees and Braves are tied for the most walks in MLB this month. Of course one team has been scoring those walks and the other has not...

Can the Yanks at least hold them scoreless in the 1st inning? Is that too much to ask?

Flaherty apparently threw 84 pitches last night for the orioles in 3 innings

Morton looks hittable, but he's looked that way for about 20 years. One of those crafty guys who can always find a team that wants him. Lance Lynn, Wade Miley, Rich Hill -- never great, maybe they make one or two All Star teams, but they keep showing up even though you're never quite sure what team they're on.

Vazquez is already the Yankees pitching star of this series.
