Morton Making First Start

Written by Jonathan on June 14, 2008 – 9:17 pm

Charlie Morton’s making his first big league start for the Braves tonight as the Braves looks to make it two-in-a-row against the Angels tonight.  Maybe the fresh face on the hill will be what we need to help get things moving back in the right direction for the team.  I can only hope for the best.  Go Braves!
