<h2>Sunday's Pitching Match-Up</h2>
<p>Lefty Montgomery hit just 6/30 on quality starts last season, although some of that had to do with a short leash.

<p>New York played 17-13 with Montgomery last season.</p>
<p>Over five starts last year against Boston, Montgomery allowed ten runs and 26 hits through 27 1/3 innings, with 25 K's against seven walks. The Yankees lost three of those five games while four of those games played under their totals.</p>
<p>Houck, meanwhile, "hit" 0/13 on quality starts this year, also in part due to a short leash. Only one-time last year did he pitch into the sixth inning. On the whole last year, Houck put up a 3.52 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP through 69 innings, with 87 whiffs against 21 walks.</p>
