Morton embraces shot to lead Astros to ALCS

Overlooked and undervalued by outsiders much of the year, Charlie Morton is now readying to showcase his worth to these Astros in front of a national audience. The right-hander has been tapped to start against the Red Sox in Game 4 of the best-of-five American League Division Series presented by Doosan, set for Monday at Fenway Park with Houston carrying a 2-1 series lead and looking to clinch. Boston will counter with right-hander Rick Porcello.
