All eyes were on Jordan Montgomery tonight as he made his return to the Dbacks rotation after missing the past 3 weeks with right knee inflammation. Monty would not get a soft landing either facing a red hot Kansas City Royals team. Given Monty’s struggles in his previous outings before landing on the IL and his ERA over 6, I didn’t exactly have high expectations coming into the game.
The Dbacks offense came out dialed in to start the game against the Royals’ Alec Marsh as the first 3 batters reached giving the Dbacks bases loaded no outs to start the game.
