Matt Morris, the veteran right-hander added by the Pittsburgh Pirates late
last season to stabilize a young rotation, was released Sunday after
failing
to pitch past the second inning in his latest start. Morris fell to 0-4
with
a 9.67 ERA after giving up six runs, three earned, and six hits in 1 2-3
innings during an 8-4 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night.
