He issued one walk and struck out five, tossing 98 pitches.","spin":"Morrow was in line for a quality start, but gave up a couple of homers in the later innings, including back-to-back long balls to open the eighth frame. Since a nice eight-inning outing on May 5, Morrow has been mediocre in his last two starts, although he recently dealt with a back injury. He's still showing good velocity on his fastball, but the strikeouts haven't been there this year with only 40 Ks in 52.1 innings.","date":"Thu May 23"},"fullName":"Brandon Morrow","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Morrow was on his way to ranking among one of 2012's biggest breakouts -- and perhaps some Cy Young votes -- before an oblique injury cost him more than two months of action. Following his return, he wasn't quite as good a pitcher, his strikeout-to-walk ratio was 2.41 in eight starts, down from 2.79 in 13 before his DL stint. Still, Morrow proved that the advances he made were no fluke. He added a splitter and kept the ball down in the zone more often overall, his ground-ball rate soared nearly 5 percent (36.9 to 41.4), and he stepped up his game while working from the stretch, affording sparkling .202/.296/.282 rates with men on. This is not the high-walk, high-strikeout, low-innings-per-start pitcher we saw during his first five big-league campaigns, but rather a more complete pitcher on the rise. Health is entirely the question, as he has made three trips to the DL in the past four seasons, but with some luck in that department his fantasy potential could soar.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.7,"playerRater15DAY":-1.8,"positionRank":130}
