Rafael Montero blows Opening Day save Thursday
by Ari Koslow | Astros Correspondent | Fri, Apr 2nd 2:13am EDT
Rafael Montero blew his first save opportunity of the season Thursday, serving up a solo home run to Alex Dickerson to lead off the inning.
Fantasy Impact:
Montero was able to bounce back, getting the next three hitters out including two strikeouts. It took him a bit to find his fastball, but he was able to reach the mid-90's including a 95 MPH four-seam fastball to strikeout Longoria for the final out of the inning. Montero will likely be on a shorter leash as the closer, so he will need to bounce back with his next opportunity.
