In case you missed it, former Yankees prospect and current Rangers lefty Jordan Montgomery had a very good start in the playoffs on Tuesday.
Facing the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of their AL Wild Card series, Montgomery pitched seven shutout innings. He struck out five and walked none as Texas cruised to a 4-0 win. It’s been nothing but great pitching from him since the Rangers acquired him from the Cardinals at the deadline. Montgomery posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 11 starts with Texas.
And where does that leave Yankees fans in a rare October with nowhere to go?
