Montas did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over Cleveland, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings.
Cleveland got to Montas for a pair of runs in the first inning -- one on a Jed Lowrie throwing error and the other on a Harold Ramirez RBI single -- but the right-hander settled in and put zeroes on the board in each of his final five frames. It was the sixth straight quality start for Montas, who lowered his ERA to 3.98 on the season. He'll take a 9-8 record and 146:36 K:BB in 131 innings into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week on the road against the White Sox.
