Montgomery Twirls Shutout
Mike Montgomery of the Kansas City Royals was on top of his game today.

The 30-year-old tantalized the Baltimore Orioles with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 7-0 shutout.

"He had the changeup working," Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Kansas City hurler had 3 strikeouts, gave up 2 walks and surrendered 8 hits in his complete-game effort.

Montgomery told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.
