Montero (6-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk over five scoreless innings against the Orioles. He struck out one.
Montero did not allow a run for the second game in a row, with the biggest threat coming when he worked around a one-out second and third situation in the third inning. The 24-year-old rookie was pulled following just 63 pitches through five innings after coming off a complete-game shutout of the Rockies in his last start. Montero's ERA has dropped nearly a full run thanks to his most recent performances, moving from 5.47 to 4.60 with a 1.27 WHIP and 66 strikeouts through 88 innings. He's next slated to get another shot at the Orioles, this time in Baltimore.
