After walk-off, Montero wants 'to finish as strong as possible'

CHICAGO -- Last season, Miguel Montero started 90 games at catcher, only the second time in the last eight seasons that he didn't top 100. With the arrival of Willson Contreras this year, Montero has started 58 games behind the plate. And he has handled the decrease in playing time like a pro.

Montero delivered a walk-off home run leading off the 10th inning on Friday to lift the Cubs to a 5-4 victory over the Brewers. It was his second extra-inning walk-off hit of the season -- Montero also hit a walk-off RBI single on Aug.
