After a string of fantastic starts to being his season, Charlie Morton's mortality showed Sunday.

"The good pitches I made, they hit 'em. The bad pitches I made, they hit 'em. That's embarrassing," Morton told Pirates.com after the game.

Morton pitched just 2/3 of an inning and gave up nine runs on eight hits.

Baseball is a tough game and although Morton will get another shot in five days, he admitted that this one will be tough to get over.

"No … it's not easy [to get over]," Morton said. "But you've got to shake it off, learn from it and get ready for the next one. My stuff was fine … most of those pitches were in the bottom half of the strike zone. … It's hard, because nothing I was doing was working."
