Jordan Montgomery’s 2020 debut came on the biggest regular-season stage there is—the first game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
And Montgomery delivered.
In his first meaningful action since undergoing Tommy John surgery (he pitched four innings in 2019), Montgomery tossed 5.2 strong innings of one-run ball. He allowed five hits and one walk while fanning four.

Obviously, Montgomery showed some decent velocity and his trademark curveball.
