The Atlanta Braves are less than a week away from the 2024 season opener in Philadelphia. With just five Spring Training games to go, several of the regulars are getting more playing time, including Charlie Morton, who threw five innings in the Braves’ 5-2 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday.
The right-hander allowed four hits, walked three, and struck out three. He was tagged with two earned runs. Morton continued to struggle pitching to those hitting from the left hand side.
Dylan Lee also appeared in the game and threw a perfect inning.
The Braves’ offense was full of frequenters, including Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley, and more.
Up next, the Braves are scheduled for yet another tune-up game with the Minnesota Twins this afternoon.
