Jordan Montgomery became the first Texas Rangers pitcher in history with multiple postseason starts of six-plus scoreless innings Sunday, per the MLB's Sarah Langs.
His 6.1-inning shutout helped lead the Rangers to a 2-0 victory over the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
Montgomery earned praise from fans when he stranded three runners on base with a clutch strikeout in the bottom of the fourth.
