Mike Montgomery Takes No-Decision Against Tigers
5 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Montgomery posted another good outing on Tuesday, but bullpen struggles robbed him of the win. Montgomery allowed just one run in 5 2/3 innings, leaving with a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately, the back end of his bullpen fell apart a bit, and the Royals had to win the game on a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth. Montgomery has only had one bad outing in his last five, posting a 2.10 ERA over his last five starts while striking out 29 and walking nine in 30 innings pitched. Unfortunately, his 3.88 xFIP says that some correction is coming, but even so, that's an ERA that would play just fine for many owners. He should catch a friendly match-up against the Marlins this weekend for those who are in the first round of their playoffs.
