Montero’s Clinic Shines for Tigers

Keider Montero turned heads with a masterclass on the mound, tossing 76 pitches over seven innings while retiring 13 straight batters and striking out three — all while keeping the Chicago White Sox’s potent offense mostly quiet. His early dominance, including a 15-pitch first inning and 22 pitches for nine outs, showcased elite command, though a two-run homer in the fifth briefly derailed his near-perfect outing. Despite the hiccup, Montero’s strong season — averaging a 3.5 ERA over his last nine starts — has made him a vital piece of Detroit’s rotation as injuries mount. His performance reignites hope for a playoff push and signals the Tigers might be buyers, not sellers, at the trade deadline. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
