Frankie Montas News: Shelled in loss

Montas dropped to 3-2 on the season in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Giants, coughing up seven earned runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings while striking out three batters.

The right-hander unraveled in his last two frames, conceding five or more runs for the third time in his seven starts this season. Montas allowed a three-run blast to Rafael Devers in a four-run third inning and was then chased from the game following a three-run, four-hit fourth inning. Across 33.2 total innings, Montas now sports a 6.68 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB while giving up seven long balls. The 32-year-old tentatively lines up to face the Brewers on the road next weekend for his eighth start of the season, though given his poor numbers on the season, it wouldn't be a major shock if the Mets elected to at least temporarily remove Montas from the rotation.
