Man, it was a rollercoaster out there! The crowd started buzzing when Wilmer Flores hit that grand slam, and it kept building with Mike Yastrzemski's solid single. But let me tell you, the roof nearly blew off when Jordan Montgomery walked off the mound. It was a tough day for him, no doubt. He had a clean start, but the third inning turned into a nightmare with hits raining down like confetti at a parade.
The Giants were on fire, hitting everything Montgomery threw at them. That curveball he tossed got hammered out of the park by Flores, who wasn't exactly known for power hitting. And just when you thought it couldn't get worse, Yastrzemski smacked another hit, and that was it for Montgomery. Lovullo had seen enough, and he pulled him out.
From there, the Diamondbacks tried to claw their way back. The bullpen held strong, the defense was tight, and we got some hits on the board. But that early deficit was just too much to overcome, snapping our four-game win streak with a thud. Montgomery knew he didn't bring his A-game, and he owned up to it. It's tough, feeling like you're letting the team down, especially when they're on a hot streak.
Montgomery was supposed to be our ace, leading the rotation to glory. But things haven't gone according to plan. Injuries have hit us hard, but even with that, Montgomery's performance has been below par. His ERA is sky-high, and he's struggling with his pitches, especially his sinker and changeup. Lovullo's trying to figure it out, but it's clear something's off.
It's been a frustrating ride for Montgomery. He thought he was turning things around after a decent outing against the Marlins, but then it all fell apart again. He's trying to stay positive, pointing to some improvements with his curveball, but deep down, he knows it's not enough. Right now, the negatives outweigh the positives, and it's tough to see a way out of this slump. But hey, baseball's a crazy game, right? We'll just have to keep pushing and hope for better days ahead.
