Charlie Morton strikes out 8 Giants over 6 innings on 8/13/24

Charlie Morton struggled his last time out CJ. See if he can have a bounce back performance here tonight at 40 years old continues to amaze. We'll keep a really close eye in the first inning here. Matt Olson grand slam. Nice pitch. There takes care away and there's a good one. The curveball confounds Conforto and sends us to the second inning at second base 12 and a good 12 curveball to get Brett wisely swinging Giants on the board. It's 2 to 1 but Charlie keeps it right there with his third strikeout so far two to Lamonte Wade and he strikes him out for the second time tonight. House good swing and a miss five strikeouts for Charlie Morton who by the way is now just three away from 2000 in his career. I was going to say swing and a miss 95 on the strikeout that is K number 1998 in the career of Charlie Morton, that's back in Atlanta swing and a Miss. So now he's one strikeout away from 2000. Really well done. Nice bounce back from Charlie after a couple of fastballs had gotten away from him. Pitch struck him out strikeout number 2000 in the tremendous career of Charlie Morton. Charlie gets through six and he gets his 2/1000 career strikeout. Take about Charlie Morton. Think of all the greats to play. Only 89 have reached that mark in major league history.
