Seven starts into his big league career, Jordan Montgomery has pitched like, well, most rookie pitches. Sometimes he looks great, sometimes he walks too many. That’s usually how it goes. Tonight will be a pretty big test for Montgomery even though the Royals are the worst offensive team in baseball. Kansas City will be the first team to see the big left-hander a second time, and they’ll see him twice in the span of a week.
Last week the Royals roughed Montgomery up for five runs in five innings, so it’s up to him to make the adjustment to find success, not the other way around.
