Montas didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals after allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.1 innings, fanning four.
Montas had won each of his previous three outings and was in a run of four straight quality starts, but he didn't have his best stuff Tuesday. Fortunately for him, the opposing starter, Jackson Kowar, struggled even more -- and that allowed Montas to settle with a no-decision. It's worth noting this was the first time Montas gave up more than three earned runs since June 26.
