He is 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA in the playoffs and his mound opponent is another former New York starter (Yankees) Jordan Montgomery (2-0, 2.08). Monte pitched Game 1 and went 6.2 innings surrendering just five hits and no runs to pick up the win. In his only regular season appearance against the Astros he went 6.2 innings giving up one earned run in a 4-2 win. Take TEXAS!
