2025 Game Log 37: Baltimore Orioles at Minnesota Twins

Charlie Morton
vs
Simeon Woods Richardson

Morton has a 9.36 ERA this year. I saw that and thought he must have only a few starts and got shelled in at least one. No, this is his sixth start of the season and he appeared in relief three times. He's allowed at least four earned runs in all five starts. He struck out ten Red Sox in his second start of the season and still surrendered five runs over five innings. The absolute lowest his ERA has been was 8.84. It went up after his latest appearance, a single inning in relief, where he allowed two runs in a losing effort.
