"Carrying the hopes of the nervous citizens of Red Sox Nation, lefthander Kevin Morton last night interrupted his third summer of minor league training and started against the Detroit Tigers in Fenway Park. The Sox were on the verge of plummeting into third place and Morton was called to rescue Lou Gorman and Co. from the winter folly and summer slump 1990-91. The kid was more than all right. He beat the Tigers with nine innings of five-hit artistry. He struck out nine and walked only one in a 10-1 victory. It was Boston's fifth complete game of the season; Roger Clemens has the other four. Manager Joe Morgan, after months of watching Matt Young and the Restless, sighed and said, 'It's only one game, but you say to yourself, 'How in the name of God did they ever hit him in the minors?' Detroit manager Sparky Anderson, the high priest of hyperbole, let us down a little. We were expecting the Sparkster to compare Morton to either Koufax or Spahn, but the best Sparky could do was Dave Rozema." - Globe Columnist Dan Shaughnessy in The Boston Globe (07/06/1991, 'Kevin Morton has sterling debut for Red Sox', Source)
