Pockets sixth win
Montgomery (6-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's wild 13-12 victory over the Giants, giving up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
Analysis
The flame-throwing southpaw hit Turner Hill with a 98.9-mph sinker to lead off the ninth with the score tied 12-12, but Montgomery was able to erase him on a double-play grounder by Rafael Devers -- a timely escape considering the next two batters got hits. Montgomery extended his scoreless streak to 14.1 innings with the performance, a stretch in which he's converted all five of his save chances and picked up three wins over 15 appearances with a 0.63 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB.

Clean inning for save
Montgomery pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis
Montgomery retired the side on 11 pitches (seven strikes) to earn his seventh save overall and fifth in August. He ends the month riding a 13.1-inning scoreless streak dating back to July 27, and he looks to have a decent amount of security in the closer role for now. Montgomery is at a 3.07 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 89:22 K:BB through 55.2 innings this season.
