Rangers' Jordan Montgomery: Named Game 1 starter

Montgomery will start for the Rangers in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Rays on Tuesday.

Montgomery has been the Rangers' best starter by a large margin since the trade deadline and with Max Scherzer (shoulder) injured and Nathan Eovaldi struggling he was a shoo-in to be tapped for the Game 1 start. The left-hander will be opposed by the Rays' Tyler Glasnow.
