Mike Montgomery throwing two scoreless innings in a rehab start with the South Bend Cubs on April 17 was the news of the day for most markets. Everybody commented on how good the new father looked in his first time on the mound in two weeks. Most of the press went home after Montgomery addressed them, given he was who they came to see.
Had they stuck around, they would have seen an outstanding five-inning performance by 22-year-old righty Cam Sanders. The effort wasn’t anything new, since Sanders has yet to allow an earned run in 15 innings of work this season.
