The 41-year-old Morton, pairing a firm four-seam fastball with his signature curveball, was outstanding. He allowed a run on four hits with six strikeouts.

Kyle Schwarber belted his 38th homer of the year and Cristopher Sanchez threw eight scoreless innings to help the host Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-0 victory Sunday night over the Detroit Tigers.

As recently as two years ago, Cristopher Sánchez was a pitcher in transition, earning some major league time yet frequently shuttling between the Phillies and their Triple-A affiliate in the Lehigh Valley.
