The veteran left-hander had a much needed successful return from the injured list.
Jordan Montgomery returned from a knee injury to give the Diamondbacks five solid innings against the Royals, allowing just one run. The offense, keyed by a clutch hit from Gabriel Moreno and a strange home run from Ketel Marte, gave him all the support he needed in a 6-2 victory.
The offense staked Montgomery to a three-run lead in the top of the first against Royals starter Alec Marsh. Christian Walker hit a bases loaded nobody out sacrifice fly to right that very nearly got over the head of Hunter Renfroe, who leaped to rob extra bases. Two batters later Moreno stroked a clutch line drive single up the middle to score two runs
That set the tone for Montgomery for the rest of the game, as there was little hard contact after that. A leadoff single in the second was followed by three straight flyouts to centerfield. Renfroe walked with one out in the 4th inning but was picked off trying to steal. Meanwhile, Ketel Marte ripped a two-run homer in the fifth inning, his 21st of the year. It was a hooking line shot that grazed the foul pole and confused the umpire making the call, who was signaling foul as Marte continued to round the bases. The crew got together and it was ruled a home run.
