Anyone who’s been paying attention to the Diamondbacks’ recent adventures, especially with the Pirates last Sunday, was probable well aware that today’s matchup, between Jordan Montgomery and Pirates opening day starter Mitch Keller, wasn’t going to be easy. Keller has been the Pirates “ace” the past couple of years, though he’s been surpassed by Paul Skenes, but he’s a good pitcher who tends to give Arizona batters fits when he faces us. Monty, meanwhile, has kinda sucked...he came into the game sporting a 6.51 ERA this year, and while he’s had a handful of decent starts for us, they have been fewer and farther between than anyone, including Montgomery himself, might have hoped.
