Mason Montgomery Saves the Pirates | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Mason Montgomery has emerged as the Pirates’ unexpected bullpen savior, turning around their late-season fortunes with six saves and a stellar 3.19 ERA in 53⅔ innings. A lefty who silenced critics after early-season struggles, he’s been especially dominant since the All-Star break — and nearly flawless in August, converting every save while allowing zero runs in nine appearances. His improved control, strikeout prowess, and ability to limit hits and walks make him the ideal closer, possibly the most valuable asset from the Brandon Lowe trade. With four more years of team control, Montgomery is now the flame-throwing lefty the Pirates desperately needed to lock down the ninth.
