Whether it’s lack of run support or a blown lead by the bullpen, New York Yankees rookie left-hander Jordan Montgomery hasn’t gotten the credit he deserves.
In his latest outing against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night, the southpaw held the Royals to two hits in 6.2 innings of work. The only blemish on an otherwise flawless start came in the top of the seventh inning when Lorenzo Cain poked a solo home run.
Montgomery didn’t walk a batter, struck out six and did everything in his power to help the Yankees win in front of a crowd of 35,931 at Yankee Stadium.
