Montero did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Royals, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out five over six innings.

Montero looked solid early, building off his previous start in which he tossed six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, but he ran into trouble late Thursday. Despite Thursday's line, Montero's underlying metrics remain excellent, as he ranks near the top of the league in xERA (1.20) and xwOBA (.173). He's slated to face Milwaukee in his next start Tuesday.
