The Arizona Diamondbacks staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Washington Nationals 9-8 at Chase Field, overcoming an early 6-0 deficit. While the victory was notable, it did little to ease concerns about starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery‘s performance.
Montgomery endured a challenging outing, allowing nine hits and six runs over four innings, pushing his season ERA to 6.51. His tenure with the Diamondbacks has been marked by difficulties, with 99 hits surrendered in 74.2 innings, alongside 48 strikeouts, 27 walks, and nine home runs allowed.
The pitcher’s ongoing struggles have sparked significant criticism among fans, who are calling for manager Torey Lovullo to reconsider Montgomery’s place in the starting rotation. Questions are being raised about the reasons behind the 2023 World Series winner’s decline since joining the Diamondbacks and what steps the team might take to address his ongoing issues.
