Montero (5-9) allowed one run on four hits and five walks while striking out five across five innings to earn the victory Saturday against the Reds.
Montero allowed his only run in the second inning to fall behind 1-0, and despite struggling with his control, he was able to keep the Reds off the scoreboard the rest of the way, helping lead the Mets to a home victory. He's posted two strong outings over his last three starts to lower his ERA from 5.64 to 5.05, but his consistent control issues provide the potential for significant downside to fantasy managers. He'll make his next start Friday against the Braves.
