Cardinals lose 10th straight Jordan Montgomery start: 'Not a loser'

Cardinals lose 10th straight Jordan Montgomery start: ‘Not a loser’

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jordan Montgomery is having a rough start to his first full season with the team. Montgomery, who was traded to the Cardinals by the New York Yankees last August, suffered his seventh loss of the season on Saturday, tying him for the most in the National League and second most in the majors. Despite only one of the four runs he allowed to the Pittsburgh Pirates being earned, the Cardinals lost their 10th straight game that Montgomery has started, dating back to April 13.

The 30-year-old left-hander has struggled to find his footing this season, with a record of 2-7 and an ERA of 4.23. However, Montgomery remains determined and maintains that he is not a loser. “I’m going to keep giving them everything I’ve got out there,” Montgomery told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “The team knows that. Manager knows it. Pitching coach knows it. Fan base knows it. … Baseball stinks. It’s not always easy. It’s not always going to go great. Everybody has to stick with what they do – and try to do it better.”

Montgomery returned to the mound on Saturday after a 60-minute rain delay, not wanting to put a burden on the bullpen. Although he could care less about recording a win for himself, Montgomery said he just really wants the team to win. Despite their struggles, Montgomery remains optimistic and believes that it’s still early in the season.

Montgomery had a strong finish with the Cardinals last season after the trade, pitching to a 3.11 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 63 ⅔ innings, with the Cardinals going 8-3 in his 11 starts. However, this season has not been as kind to him or the Cardinals. The team is currently in last place in the National League with a record of 25-35, while the Pirates (31-27) swept them over the weekend.

‘Not a Loser’: Jordan Montgomery’s 10th Consecutive Start Results in Cardinals’ Defeat

Despite a valiant effort by Jordan Montgomery, the St. Louis Cardinals lost their 10th straight game he has started, dating back to April 13. The southpaw took his seventh loss of the season on Saturday, tied for most in the National League and second in the majors. Montgomery was traded to the Cardinals last August from the New York Yankees, and is now in his first full season with the team. Just one of the four runs Montgomery allowed to the Pittsburgh Pirates was earned, lowering his ERA from 4.48 to 4.23. “I am not [a] loser,” Montgomery told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, after the loss. “I’m going to keep giving them everything I’ve got out there. The team knows that. Manager knows it. Pitching coach knows it. Fan base knows it. … Baseball stinks. It’s not always easy. It’s not always going to go great. Everybody has to stick with what they do – and try to do it better.” Despite his struggles, Montgomery returned to the mound in the third inning after a 60-minute rain delay, not wanting to put a burden on the bullpen. Although Pittsburgh tied the game 1-1 in the fifth and took a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning before the Pirates won 4-3, Montgomery said, “Could care less about me recording a W….Just really want the team to win. But, still super early, so we’ll keep going out there, and I’ll keep giving them everything I got.” In 98 appearances (97 starts) over parts of six seasons with the Yankees, Montgomery went 22-20 with a 3.94 ERA and 478 strikeouts. He was traded to the Cardinals after the 2022 season. Although Montgomery was strong down the stretch for the Cardinals last season, pitching to a 3.11 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 63 ⅔ innings, with the Cardinals going 8-3 in his 11 starts, he is now 2-7 this season. It’s not all bad news for Montgomery, though; his ERA has dropped from 4.48 to 4.23. But the Cardinals (25-35) were swept by the Pirates (31-27) on Sunday and are in last place in the National League.
