Roughed up in Friday's matinee
Montero escaped with a no-decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out four.
Analyse
The right-hander was staked to a 6-1 lead after three innings, but a grand slam by Brayan Rocchio in the fourth brought Cleveland level and helped send Montero to the showers after 82 pitches (51 strikes). The six earned runs allowed were a season worst for Montero, while four innings represented his shortest outing since July 17, when he worked in relief. Over six trips to the mound since the beginning of August, he's produced a 4.13 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings. Montero will look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.

Stingy in Saturday's no-decision
Montero didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
Analyse
The right-hander tossed 50 of 73 pitches for strikes but fell short of recording his 10th quality start of the season, and the Tigers didn't push across the winning run until the bottom of the ninth. Montero wraps up August having posted a 2.83 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB over five starts and 28.2 innings, and his spot in the rotation should be secure even when Jack Flaherty (forearm) is cleared to return. Montero will look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Cleveland.
