Montas (6-10) took the loss Friday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on two hits over six innings. He struck out 10.

Montas pitched well Friday, setting a new season high with 10 strikeouts while holding Colorado scoreless through five innings. However, Michael Toglia's two-out, three-run homer would prove to be enough to stick Montas will the loss in an eventual 3-2 defeat. While it wasn't the finish he would've wanted, it was a positive outing overall for the right-hander, who had allowed eight runs over 12 innings in two starts coming into the contest. The 31-year-old has a 4.69 ERA on the season with a 1.37 WHIP and 120:57 K:BB across 132.1 innings between Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Montas is currently scheduled to face the Giants on the road in his next outing.
