Montgomery set to face former club on road
Mike Montgomery strikes out Alexei Ramirez with the bases loaded to end the 5th inningKANSAS CITY -- It's been a while since Mariners left-hander Mike Montgomery was a member of the Royals. Since he was first traded away, some things about Kansas City have eluded him.
"There was a barbecue place. I can't remember the name of it," Montgomery said with a laugh on Friday, attempting to recall the name of his favorite restaurant. "Yes, I know there's a few of them."
But in the three-and-a-half years that have passed since he was traded from the Royals to the Rays in the deal for James Shields and Wade Davis, and then again from Tampa Bay to Seattle, some things have stuck with Montgomery.
