DETROIT—Rookie Keider Montero pitched Detroit’s first individual shutout in three seasons and the Tigers beat the Colorado Rockies 11–0 Tuesday night.
Montero (5–6) was making his 14th major league start and became the first Tigers pitcher with nine shutout innings since Spencer Turnbull’s no-hitter in Seattle on May 18, 2021. At 24 year and 66 days, Montero is the third-youngest Tigers pitcher with a shutout in the last 20 seasons, older than only 5/22/06 Justin Verlander, who pitched a shutout at 23 years, 91 days in May 2006, and 8/14/16 Michael Fulmer, whose shutout came at 23 years and 152 days in Aug. 2016.
