Jordan Montgomery Has A Tough Outing On Thursday
6 months agoArizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery wasn't long for his start on Thursday against the visiting Minnesota Twins, lasting just 2 2/3 innings and being pulled after giving up eight runs (four earned) on nine hits while walking one and striking out only one to drop to 6-5 in his first season in Arizona. The 31-year-old southpaw didn't get much help from his defense in this one and he was also a bit unfortunate with the Twins eeking out three infield singles. He gave up only two extra-base hits. The final line doesn't look great, and Montgomery came into this one with just five earned runs allowed in his previous three starts combined. The former fourth-round pick by the New York Yankees in 2014 out of South Carolina has struggled overall in 2024, though, and things won't get any easier with his next outing scheduled to come against the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers next week.
