“Couldn’t have gotten any worse”- Frankie Montas off to a disastrous start with the Yankees

Frankie Montas debut for the New York Yankees
The Yankees’ showy new trade acquisition, Frankie Montas, got shelled for six runs in three innings of work, making for a disastrous Yankees debut. “I felt pretty good. Just not in sync with my mechanics,” Montas said. “I wasn’t hitting my spots. They’re a pretty good team. When you give that team a chance to hit that pitch, that’s what’s gonna happen.”
Montas made his Yankees debut and lasted just three innings in a wild 12-9 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium. Montas walked three batters, gave up a towering three-run home run to Nolan Arenado and started an early cavalcade of New York relievers that led to a laborious four-hour, 25-minute game — the longest nine-inning game in Busch Stadium history.

The offence had a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the second, but Frankie Montas couldn’t save it when Nolan Arenado hit a three-run home run to deal the huge blow. “I wasn’t having the best delivery today,” Montas said. “I was all over the place. But my arm feels good, and that’s what I care about.”
Despite the fact that Montas had a busy week due to the trade and his past interleague performance, he didn’t offer any justifications for his subpar Sunday performance. “At the end of the day, I have to still do my job,” Montas said. “I have to go out there and try to do my best.”
