Montero's Relief Pitching Streak Ends, ERA Still Solid
13 Jul
Summary
- Montero allowed three runs on four hits in relief pitching.
- His streak of scoreless relief appearances concluded.
- He posted a 3.33 ERA in the first half of the season.
In a recent 5-0 defeat against the Phillies, relief pitcher Montero conceded three runs, breaking his streak of scoreless appearances. This occurred over three innings where he surrendered four hits while also striking out five batters and issuing one walk.
Despite this single instance of allowing runs, Montero's performance in the first half of the season was commendable. He finished with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. His effectiveness in relief is noted, having accumulated 65 strikeouts across 97.1 innings pitched.
Looking ahead, there's a possibility Montero could be transitioned back into Detroit's starting rotation at some point. However, for the immediate future, he is expected to remain in his bullpen capacity, where he has proven to be a reliable asset.
