2 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) threw three shutout frames on Thursday as his club went on to defeat the Tigers 5-0. It was the first time the 29-year-old took the mound since he suffered a shoulder injury during a July 3 start, throwing 53 pitches to record nine outs. He gave up two hits while walking one and striking out five in what was an encouraging showing for the popular trade-deadline candidate. Montas will take a sublime 3.16 ERA and 1.08 WHIP into his next scheduled start versus the Astros next week in what could be one of his final home starts in Oakland.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
