Possibly the best play off pitcher in the league currently, Atlanta’s Charlie Morton was pitching beautifully with a 5-0 lead in Game 1 of the World Cup Series. He was then struck on his lower leg by Astros Yuli Gurriel. He continued to pitch throwing a perfect curveball to strike out Jose Altuve before calling to the dugout that he could not finish the game.
X-rays confirmed a broken right fibula ruling him out for the rest of the series and creating doubt for Atlanta for the remainder of this series.
