Montgomery (2-2) allowed four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings to take the loss Friday against the Astros.
Montgomery gave up a three-run homer to Brian McCann, and with the Yankees bats being silenced, he suffered his second loss of the season. He's only posted two quality starts over his last four outings, but his 4.19 ERA this year, along with 22 strikeouts over his last 23.2 innings, are making him a useful fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Royals.
