Misses out on win Tuesday Montgomery didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a 5-... Impact The southpaw hit the showers after 78 pitches (51 strikes) in his return from the COVID-19 list, serving up a go-ahead homer to Christian Vazquez to lead off the fifth inning and then walking Enrique Hernandez with two outs, but had he stuck around for one more out Montgomery would have gotten the win as the Yankees rallied for three runs in the bottom of the frame. That's been the story for the 28-year-old over the last couple months -- he's allowed three runs or less in nine straight starts, posting a 3.14 ERA and 52:18 K:BB through his last 48.2 innings, but quick hooks and inconsistent run support have left him with only a 1-4 record to show for it.
