Charlie Morton Leads Orioles to Win in Atlanta Return

News summary

Charlie Morton, a 41-year-old pitcher who began his MLB career with the Atlanta Braves and was part of their 2021 World Series victory, returned to Truist Park as a member of the Baltimore Orioles for a three-game series starting July 4, 2025. Despite a challenging start to the season with a 5.63 ERA, Morton has recently become a key figure in the Orioles' rotation, highlighted by a strong performance allowing just two runs over 5 1/3 innings in his return to Atlanta. The Braves, struggling alongside the Orioles in the 2025 season with middling team stats and recent losses, started Spencer Strider against Morton in the series opener. Braves manager Brian Snitker and others have expressed respect for Morton’s professionalism and impact, especially on younger pitchers like Strider. Both teams have been disappointing this season, with the Orioles falling short of playoff expectations and the Braves tumbling out of contention despite a solid roster. Morton’s comeback and the matchup against his former team added a compelling narrative to a series between two underperforming teams.
