  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  Montero (5-6) earned the win Tuesday over the Rockies, allowing three hits and no walks in a complete-game shutout. He struck out five.

Montero's performance is especially impressive considering his struggles of late -- the right-hander had posted a 5.81 ERA in his previous 10 starts. Overall, Montero sports a 4.88 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB across 83 innings in his rookie campaign. He'll look to build on Tuesday's outing in his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend at home versus the Orioles.

• Tigers' Keider Montero: Can't get through five frames

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Montero did not factor into the decision in an extra-inning loss to the Padres on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two. Montero held the Padres scoreless through the first three innings before failing to retire three of the first four batters in the fourth -- the latter of which would take the right-hander deep for a three-run shot. Montero then went on to surrender another two runs in the fifth as San Diego tied the game at 5-5, and he would not make it through the frame, marking his shortest outing since June 26 against Philadelphia (span of 11 starts). The five runs allowed on the night matched a season high for the 24-year-old and he's now given up multiple runs in each of his last three starts. Montero has also issued multiple free passes in five-consecutive outings.
