Montgomery (4-3) allowed five runs on eight hits in a loss to the Angels on Friday, striking out three. Montgomery had allowed just one earned run over his last 23.2 innings coming in, but turned in the worst start of his major league career in this one. The rookie didn't issue a walk, but his career-high eight hits allowed included home runs by Mike Trout and C.J. Cron. Montgomery is still outperforming his FIP by more than a run (2.29 to 3.66), so he could be due for more rough outings moving forward if his luck begins to wane. Since he doesn't strike a lot of guys out, the lefty will have to keep limiting batters' effectiveness on balls in play if he wants to maintain his early success.
