News about Charlie Morton

Luis Rengifo, Randal Grichuk, and Chad Wallach all scored solo home runs off Charlie Morton's second straight start, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Monday night, defeating the major league-leading Atlanta Braves. Matt Olson's NL-best 36th homer and major league-leading 89th RBI made it 2-1 in the fifth, leading the Braves to join the 2019 Minnesota Twins as the only teams with 200 long balls before August. The No. 1 in Atlanta began the game with 31 more home runs than the Los Angeles Dodgers. The two teams were split on the road. The Braves (67-37) were coming off a three-game sweep of Milwaukee, in which they scored 29 runs and went deep 11 times.

The New York Yankees have kicked off a road trip in disgusting style, as their hopes of making the playoffs fade. With the Angels up to bat leading 6-3, a slim chance of a comeback was shattered by the eighth inning. Tommy Kahnle of the Yankees scored a runner from second on a ground rule double, effectively ending any chance of a win. When Kahnle hurled his glove at a cooling fan in the dugout, destroying it, he may have pitched his most accurate pitch of the night.

On Sunday, the Mets recalled Alonso from the 10-day injured list, with the 28-year-old returning to the lineup against the Cardinals. Alonso has been out since suffering a bone bruise and a sprain of his left wrist after being struck by a fastball from Atlanta right-hander Charlie Morton on June 7. Last Friday, the Mets placed Alonso on the injured list, retroactive to June 8, and it was likely he would miss three to four weeks.

The New York Mets face off their difficult season without MLB homer Pete Alonso.

In the first inning of a 7-5 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, Alonso was struck in the chest by a 96 mph fastball from Charlie Morton.

After the Braves beat New York 7-5 on Wednesday night, Atlanta starting pitcher Charlie Morton went to find Pete Alonso and apologized for throwing him with a pitch that knocked the Mets out of the game. When speaking after the game, Alonso told reporters that he admired the gesture. 'He came up after I was X-rayed,' Alonso said. 'He was looking for me.' He just wanted to apologise. Well, he didn't mean to. I wanted to say that for people who are speculating about this or that. Chuckie is a good guy, but the time doesn't call for it. There is nothing to it. I just happened to be struck with an up-and-in fastball.'

The bracket has been drafted and the new expanded MLB playoffs are set for their first appearance, with 12 teams competing to win the Commissioner's Trophy in what might be the best postseason in baseball history. The reformed playoffs did not only reward the top two teams in each league with first-round byes, but also the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, which all happened to be popular with fans at the end of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The World Series picture, as well as an 111-win team, the Dodgers, and three other 100-win clubs: the Astros, Braves, and the New York Mets. So even if an underdog makes it to the Divisional round, several of the best regular-season clubs in recent memory will all be around to compete for the pennant.
