Athletics' Frankie Montas: Earns win Friday

Montas (6-5) notched the win against Colorado on Friday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two.

The right-hander was staked to an early 6-0 lead and pitched just long enough to secure his sixth win. Montas yielded a trio of runs between the third and fourth innings and threw 48 of 69 pitches for strikes on the night. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Montas, though his two strikeouts Friday were a season low. He'll carry a 4.52 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at home against Kansas City on Thursday.
