You could tell this wasn’t going to be Mike Montgomery’s night when he allowed four baserunners, three via hits, in the first two innings. No runs scored for the Cardinals, thanks in part to a double play, but this didn’t seem sustainable.
It wasn’t. MiMo wound up allowing 12 hits in five innings, three of them to the extremely annoying Yadier Molina, and the Cubs dropped the first game of the series 5-2.
