Montero pitched six innings, allowing one run with four hits and four strikeouts, while the Tigers won 4-1 behind a combined five-hitter with three relievers.
Shane Baz started for the Rays, recording seven strikeouts but giving up three runs with two walks over six innings, contributing to the Rays’ seventh loss in their last ten games.
