Mets RHP Rafael Montero earned his first major-league win since 2014 by throwing allowing just one run in 5 2/3 innings work during Sunday's 8-2 win against Giants at AT&T Park.
Making his third start of the season, Montero struck out a season-high seven batters and allowed one run and five hits in his best outing of the year. He had pitched in relief during seven of his previous eight appearances.
"You've got to get some confidence back and it all starts from the way we pitched," manager Terry Collins said after the game, speaking about Montero.
