Opening Wednesday
Montgomery will serve as Pittsburgh's opening pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Analyse
Montgomery got off to a rough start this season with four earned runs allowed over his first 3.1 innings, but he has since given up one run in his last 4.1 frames. The Pirates will now entrust him with working the first inning or two of Wednesday's contest before turning the ball over to Carmen Mlodzinski, who will work in bulk relief.

Missing bats, rounding into form
Montgomery has earned one win and three holds while posting a 7.11 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 6.1 innings in seven appearances for the Pirates this season.
Analyse
The ratios look ugly, but Montgomery has been better lately, allowing just one run with an 8:1 K:BB over his last four appearances. Acquired from Tampa Bay in the Brandon Lowe trade, Montgomery brings the heat from the left side (98.5 mph average fastball) and his breaking pitches all have whiff rates of 42 percent or higher. With manager Don Kelly keeping roles fluid at the back end of the bullpen, the door is open for Montgomery to eventually pick up some saves for Pittsburgh.
