Fresh off a dominating effort against the Los Angeles Angels — one of the best offenses in the American League, no less — left-hander Jordan Montgomery is making sure that the rest of the Yankees’ incredibly and surprisingly strong rotation doesn’t leave him behind.
Montgomery hurled seven strong innings against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing just four hits and a run, with a walk and four strikeouts. Of course, who knows what his pitching line would have looked like if Aaron Judge didn’t catch that ball to take a homer away from Shohei Ohtani, but Monty was good, poised, and composed on the mound.
