It was a great Spring Training debut for right-hander Charlie Morton during the Braves’ 5-4 victory over the Red Sox at CoolToday Park in Venice, Fla., on Sunday afternoon.
Morton pitched three shutout innings and struck out three batters. Even more impressive was that his fastball was clocked as high as 96 mph. Morton said that he was getting a feel for his pitches during the game and was able to get his pitch count up.
