The slow delivery of starter Jake Arrieta didn't help Montero, who is 0-for-31 in throwing out baserunners this season, and Montero put the blame on Arrieta for Washington's baserunning success.
"It really sucked because the stolen base goes on me," Montero said. "When you really look at it, the pitcher doesn't give me any time. It's like, 'Oh, yeah, Miggy can't throw anybody out.' Yeah, but my pitchers don't hold anybody on. It's tough. ... I don't get a chance to throw. That's the reason they were running left and right. They knew he was slow to the plate, simple as that.
