Montgomery (6-4) blew the save and took the loss Saturday as the Pirates fell 4-3 to the Tigers, giving up three runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
The southpaw was the seventh pitcher of the afternoon for Pittsburgh in a bullpen day, but Montgomery couldn't protect a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, instead watching Eduardo Valencia walk it off with a two-run homer. It was Montgomery's third blown save of the season and his first since becoming the Bucs' primary closer after the All-Star break, ending a stretch of 17 straight conversions. Montgomery boasts a 2.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 103:26 K:BB in 67.2 innings during a breakout campaign.

Montgomery picked up the save Thursday versus St. Louis, striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.
The left-hander entered for the ninth inning with Pittsburgh holding a 2-1 advantage, and he closed things out in strong form by punching out the side in order to record his 17th save of 2026. Montgomery has turned into a late-inning weapon for the Pirates and hasn't given up a run since July 26. During that 25-game stretch, he's picked up three wins and converted all 15 of his save chances with a 0.65 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB.

Montgomery earned the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals, allowing no hits and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Montgomery was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a leadoff walk to close things out. It continues a ridiculous second half for the 26-year-old, who's yielded just two earned runs in 28 appearances while converting all 14 of his save opportunities since the All-Star break. On the season, he has 15 saves and nine holds to go along with a 2.63 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 98:26 K:BB across 65 innings.

It was another strong performance from Montgomery, who's been nearly untouchable since late July. The southpaw has now delivered 21.2 straight scoreless innings, allowing just eight hits while striking out 32 in that span. Montgomery has converted 14 saves this season while working to a 2.67 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP and 97:25 K:BB across 64 innings and entrenching himself as Pittsburgh's closer.
