Fifth strikeout for Francisco Morales comes on this backdoor breaking ball, hung it but was good enough for the K … Scrappers lead Williamsport, 2-1 pic.twitter.com/EEoWr33FdV

Not sure which is better from last night's Cutters game, the breaking ball down from Francisco Morales for the strikeout, or the 1.98 pop on a ball in the dirt from Rafael Marchan for the caught stealing pic.twitter.com/LVomPPDqyo

Strikeout No. 3 for Francisco Morales last night … Hitters don't seem to get a good look at it out of his hand pic.twitter.com/RcnBe2NgSG

This flailing swing at the slider out of the zone comes one pitch after Morales blew a fastball past the hitter … Rafael Marchan deserves a ton of credit, Pat Borders has raved about how he calls a game, his ability to read swings and recall previous results pic.twitter.com/tnFYhFZRE7

Here we see it again … Two-strike count one pitch after missing up with a breaking ball and the hitter is late on a fastball up in the zone pic.twitter.com/ZEGhSKU6Uo

Francisco Morales's slider is so good, and the threat of it is even better than it can induce helpless swings like this on a low to mid-90s fastball pic.twitter.com/GkN7Sie1Ge

The fifth strikeout of the night for Francisco Morales, the fourth one on a slider … Morales strands a runner at third in part because of a tremendous sliding catch by Keudy Bocio in center on a sinking liner pic.twitter.com/dWPbO3vNAG

Morales goes 1-2-3 in 2nd inning of work including this K on a change-up. FB was really crisp, kept it down most of the inning inducing a couple of grounders pic.twitter.com/j9XiWDymdN
