Keider Montero
vs
David Festa
Montero and Festa both making their second career starts tonight. Montero's first start was in the second game of a double header in May. He made another appearance, seemingly in a bulk appearance, a week ago at home. Neither appearance was good, 4.1 innings each time and giving up four and five runs respectively. I expect another 4.1 inning start but this time six runs over that time.
Festa also gave up five runs last time but clearly it was from one bad inning so I expect a quality start tonight.
I don't have any plans, but I figured I might as well take Friday off as I'm sitting on a large pile of vacation days. Anyone have fun plans for the holiday?
