Montgomery posted one the finest outings of his rookie campaign, allowing runners to reach scoring position just three times and limiting the damage to a second-inning leadoff home run from Todd Frazier. Montgomery kept the walks to just one, matching his June 9 outing by going seven innings and striking out eight, this time allowing just the one run.
Chicago made it interesting in the ninth, as Tim Anderson went the other way for a three-run homer to cut New York's lead to 6-4. The White Sox had the potential tying run at second following Jose Abreu's RBI double with one out in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman shut the door, earning his seventh save and securing Montgomery's sixth win.
