Perhaps there was no bigger scapegoat during the Baltimore Orioles’ early struggles this season than Charlie Morton. Signed to a one-year, $15 million contract this past winter as a replacement for the departed Corbin Burnes, his tenure got off to a disastrous start with a 9.38 ERA and an 0-7 record across his nine outings that included six starts. All of a sudden, Morton looks like the guy the Orioles envisioned when they handed him that deal. Interim manager Tony Mansolino believes it has something to do with a mechanical issue that has been solved.
