RecapColson Montgomery hit his 30th homer, a two-run shot, in Chicago’s 4-1 win over the Twins on Friday night.
He hit a 96 mph Zebby Matthews fastball over the bullpen in right-center, it landed 416 feet from the plate and made the score 4-0. Montgomery’s been all-or-nothing of late, hitting .182 over his last 15 games but with four homers and a .436 slugging percentage. He hasn’t exactly taken a major step forward -- he’s on pace to strike out over 230 times -- but the power is still here and still playing in fantasy leagues even if the batting average is hurting you for it.
