Montas improved to 12-9 on Wednesday after limiting the White Sox to one run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in Oakland's 5-1 victory.
Montas' placement on the restricted list last week due to visa concerns resulted in him being bumped back a day in the rotation, but it didn't disrupt his stellar form since the All-Star break. He tamed a potent White Sox lineup en route to collecting his third win in as many starts, and the seven innings tied his longest outing of the season. The right-hander has submitted a 2.26 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 76:19 K:BB in 63.2 innings through 10 second-half starts.
