Jordan Montgomery steadies ship in Diamondbacks' victory

Jordan Montgomery turned in a solid outing on Tuesday, allowing just one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a 6-2 win over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a refreshing change of pace for Montgomery, whose season has been marred by a bloated 5.48 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. His ability to limit the Royals to minimal baserunners helped him secure his eighth win of the season. Despite the positive outing, Montgomery's low strikeout rate of 6.0 K/9 remains an area of concern for fantasy managers. While this start is a step in the right direction, his overall season metrics suggest caution in relying on him as a consistent fantasy starter.
