Allows one run in win Montgomery (4-7) earned the win Tuesday over the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings.

Impact The lone blemish against Montgomery game in the fourth after the Nationals tallied two extra-base hits for a run. The southpaw put together one of his best starts of the year after matching a season-high seven innings pitched and winning his second decision in a row. Over his last five starts, Montgomery owns a sparkling 2.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB in 30 innings. With the Cardinals traveling to London this weekend, Montgomery lines up to take the mound again next week at home against the Astros.

Strikes out seven in no-decision Montgomery did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in a 8-5 loss against the Giants. He struck out seven.

Impact It wasn't a pretty start for Montgomery, as he failed to retire any of the first five batters he faced in the contest before escaping the inning with only two runs allowed. He settled in after that, however, retiring 11 consecutive hitters between the second and sixth innings, five by way of strikeouts. Unfortunately, Giovanny Gallegos was unable to hold the lead in the ninth, leaving Montgomery stuck with another no-decision. Wins have been hard to come by for the left-hander, as he's been hit with a loss or no-decision in eight starts this season in which he's allowed three runs or fewer.

Fires six shutout innings Montgomery (3-7) yielded three hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out six and earning a win over the Reds.

Impact Montgomery worked around minimal threats early in the contest before retiring the final 11 batters he faced. It was his first scoreless outing since April 8 and he dropped his season ERA to 3.88 through 72 innings. Montgomery forced 14 whiffs on 41 swings, tying his season best. The veteran southpaw has now turned in three straight starts with two or fewer earned runs allowed. Montgomery is currently expected to face the Giants at home next week.

Tough loss to Bucs Montgomery (2-7) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs (only one earned) on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 4-3 to the Pirates. He struck out five...

Impact The veteran southpaw dropped his seventh straight decision, a streak that dates back to April 13, but there wasn't much more he could have done to avoid it. An hour-long rain delay in the third inning didn't shake his focus, as Montgomery kept Pittsburgh off the board through the first four frames, but a Nolan Arenado error in the sixth led to three unearned runs and the St. Louis offense couldn't climb out of the hole. Montgomery will take a 4.23 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB through 66 innings into his next outing, which is likely to come at home next weekend against the Reds.

Gives up two runs in no-decision Montgomery did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings during a 4-3 loss to Cleveland. He struck out three.

Impact Montgomery has allowed multiple runs in each of his last five starts and sports a 6.04 ERA during that stretch. However, Sunday's outing was a step in the right direction, as he didn't allow a home run for the first time since April 29. Overall, the left-hander has been consistent this year, but his numbers are marred by a pair of poor outings. Montgomery faces no threat to his spot in the rotation and is scheduled to pitch again during the finale of a three-game weekend set in Pittsburgh.

Impact Montgomery allowed two runs in the first on RBI knocks from Matt McLain and Tyler Stephenson, and after St. Louis took the lead on a three-run homer by Paul DeJong, the left-hander pitcher served up a go-ahead two-run homer to Spencer Steer in the third. After allowing just one run over his final two starts of April (12.2 innings), Montgomery has given up multiple runs in each of his first four outings of May. During that stretch, he's posted a 6.64 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP with a 20:8 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Surrenders three runs in defeat Montgomery (2-6) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

Impact The Brewers got to Montgomery in the opening frame with a pair of doubles, but he was able to strike out the side. He settled down from there until the fifth inning after a solo home run from Joey Wiemer knotted the game up at two. Montgomery would then give up a leadoff homer to Brian Anderson in the sixth and was given two more batters before being taken out. He's now given up multiple long balls in back-to-back starts and has surrendered nine runs over his last 10.1 innings. His ERA has shot up to a 4.21 to go along with a 1.34 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB over 51.1 innings. He's currently lined up for just one start this week and is expected to take the mound next week on the road against the Reds.

Tagged for six runs in loss Montgomery (2-5) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings, taking the loss versus the Cubs on Wednesday.

Impact Montgomery has had some unfortunate losses this season, but this one was more of his own doing. He got through the order unscathed once, but the Cubs scored all six of their runs against him between the third and fifth innings, which included home runs by Yan Gomes and Patrick Wisdom. It's the first time in eight starts Montgomery has given up multiple homers in the same game. He's now lost five of his last six outings since opening the season with a pair of wins. The southpaw is at a 4.11 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB through 46 innings. He'll look to bounce back in a tough projected home start versus the Brewers next week.

Quality start goes to waste Montgomery allowed two runs on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts over six innings, taking a no-decision in Friday's loss to the Tigers.

Impact Aside from a two-run home run by Javier Baez in the first inning, Montgomery had another strong outing. He left with a lead, but Jordan Hicks immediately made a mess of things in the seventh inning. This was Montgomery's fifth quality start in seven games this season, but he's often endured a lack of run support. The southpaw has a 3.29 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB through 41 innings. He's projected for a road start versus the Cubs next week.

Takes undeserved loss Montgomery (2-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out seven.

Impact Montgomery pitched a gem, but the Cardinals couldn't get anything going on offense. The southpaw has now given up just one earned run over his last 12.2 innings, and has generally been reliable this year outside of one bad start against Arizona on April 18th (seven runs allowed over four innings). The former Yankee is tentatively slated to face the Tigers at home in his next start.

Pitches gem despite losing Montgomery (2-3) took the loss Monday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Giants. He struck out six.

Impact Montgomery had a nice rebound game after allowing seven runs across four innings last week against Arizona. The former Yankee was unlucky to not get any run support, and certainly did not deserve to take his third loss of the year. The southpaw is tentatively slated to face the Dodgers on the road in his next appearance.

Hit hard in loss Montgomery (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing seven runs on ten hits over four innings. He struck out two.

Impact After three consecutive quality starts, the 30-year-old lefty struggled in his latest outing as he could not last beyond the fourth inning. This was the first time Montgomery would exit before the sixth inning, giving up a season-high seven runs while recording a season-low two strikeouts. Despite this setback, Montgomery remains a regular option in a struggling Cardinals' rotation. He will have a chance to bounce back in his next start scheduled for this weekend against the Giants.
