ST. LOUIS — An update on the Cardinals’ two deadline-day trades completed Aug. 2 reveals the following: Jose Quintana and Jordan Montgomery, both left-handers, have made six starts. The Cardinals have won all six games, with Montgomery, who came from the New York Yankees, receiving credit for three wins in his three outings.
Including the Cardinals’ 5-1 triumph over Colorado at Busch Stadium Wednesday night, in which Montgomery twirled 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts, the two newcomers have combined for 33 2/3 innings pitched and six earned runs allowed for an ERA of 1.60.
Meanwhile, of the players given up in those trades with the Yankees and Pittsburgh, none is active in the majors.
