24-year-old left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery is taking his outside chance at making the New York Yankees starting rotation and running away with it.
Through four games, Montgomery has surrendered just four runs in 10.1 innings of work (3.48 ERA) and has struck out five while holding opposing hitters to a .179 batting average. The most impressive of the four appearances, however, came on Friday afternoon.
The southpaw a perfect four innings to close out the Yankees’ combined no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers and has planted himself in the discussion to possibly contend for one of the two available starter jobs in the Bronx.
