Montas (1-0) earned the win over the Angels on Sunday. He allowed one run and three hits while striking out six in six innings.
This was a terrific start to the year for Montas, who didn't lock up a rotation spot until the end of spring training. The 26-year-old's biggest mistake was allowing a solo home run to Kole Calhoun in the sixth inning. Montas should get the ball during next weekend's series against a tough Astros lineup.
