Mike Montgomery was supposed to make his first rehab start Tuesday in South Bend, but something a little more important came up to push that back. His wife, Stephanie, gave birth to the couple’s first child, Max Michael Montgomery, Tuesday morning. With mom and baby doing well, the lefty make the quick trip to Northern Indiana to toss a couple innings.

Great Lakes Loons hitters stood no chance against Montgomery, who now has a bevvy of magical dad powers to go along with his formidable skills and experience on the mound.
