Impact The lefty served up a three-run shot to Brandon Lowe in the top of the first inning, and it was all downhill from there for both Montgomery and the Yankees. He got the hook after 71 pitches (44 strikes) as New York failed once again to lock up a wild-card spot, and he wraps up the regular season with a 3.83 ERA and 162:51 K:BB through 157.1 innings.

Strong in no-decision Montgomery didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Red Sox after tossing five innings of one-run ball, allowing seven hits while striking out four.

Impact Montgomery has been excellent of late and has given up one or fewer runs in each of his last three appearances while tossing at least five frames in each one of those contests. While he had an outing to forget against the Mets on Sept. 10, allowing seven runs (five earned) across 3.1 innings, he's been outstanding the rest of the month and owns a 3.33 ERA with a 12.2 K/9 and a 33:7 K:BB through 24.1 innings across five September appearances.

Earns win Tuesday Montgomery (6-6) earned the win over Texas on Tuesday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six.

Impact The right-hander fell just short of a quality start, but he limited the Rangers to only one extra-base hit and a single run on the scoreboard. Montgomery has allowed a combined two runs over his past two outings consisting of 11.1 innings, registering an 18:2 K:BB over the pair of contests. He has been perhaps the team's most consistent starter since the All-Star break, allowing three or fewer earned runs in 14 of 16 starts. His next appearance is tentatively lined up for Sunday at Boston.

Punches out 12 Montgomery allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out 12 across 5.2 innings Thursday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

The only damage he surrendered was a solo home run to Ryan Mountcastle. In six starts since returning from the COVID-19 injured list, Montgomery has maintained a 3.38 ERA, though he's also completed fewer than five innings on three occasions. For the season, Montgomery has a 3.63 ERA with a 149:48 K:BB across 144 innings.

Crushed in short outing Montgomery (5-6) allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks over 3.1 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Mets.

Impact The Mets entered the third inning down 2-1 and hung five runs on Montgomery in the frame with three runs, three walks and a throwing error. He was bounced in the fourth inning after coughing up a solo shot to Francisco Lindor. In his previous three outings, Montgomery had allowed just two earned runs through 15.2 innings and now owns a 3.71 ERA on the year. Even with the rough appearance Friday, the 28-year-old is sporting a 2.52 ERA over his last eight starts.

Inefficient in no-decision Montgomery didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, giving up one run on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw was sharp but inefficient, and Montgomery tossed 97 pitches (65 strikes) before getting the hook. He left the game down 1-0 and headed for his sixth loss of the year, but the Yankees erased the deficit in the eighth inning. Montgomery will carry a 3.47 ERA and 131:43 K:BB through 135 innings into his next outing.
