ARLINGTON, Texas: Charlie Morton has slowly and quietly become one of the most dominant postseason pitchers ever. By beating the Los Angeles Dodgers and winning his sixth straight postseason start, he would move within one of Bob Gibson’s record. While there is no travel in the first neutral-site World Series, the teams had the day off, giving bullpens some recovery time. Morton is 3-0 with a 0.57 ERA in this year’s postseason, allowing 11 hits in 15 2/3 innings with 17 strikeouts and four walks. The 26-year-old right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.89 ERA in the postseason, striking out 29 and walking 11 in 19 innings.
