Welcome to our second installment of Gamecock Baseball in the Pros. Last week featured a hot start from rookie Jordan Montgomery and Christian Walker. This week, Jordan Montgomery continued the stellar start to his career, Whit Merrifield was recalled to the Kansas City Royals, and Jackie Bradley Jr returned from the disabled list. Let’s dive in.

Jordan Montgomery earned his first career victory in the Major Leagues on Monday. Montgomery pitched six innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out four for the Yankees. On Sunday, Montgomery earned his first career loss to the Pirates allowing two runs in six innings.

Jackie Bradley Jr returned to the Boston Red Sox this week following a stint on the disabled list for a right knee sprain. JBJ returned in perfect form, drilling a home run on to Eutaw Street in Baltimore. Bradley went 3/11 in his return to the Red Sox this weekend. Bradley will certainly help the struggling Red Sox offense.

After starting the season in AAA, Gamecock legend Whit Merrifield was recalled to the Kansas City Royals. Just like former teammate Jackie Bradley Jr, he homered is his return to the big leagues. In Whit’s return to the lineup he went 5/19 with a HR and two RBI’s. Below are the rest of the former Gamecocks in the pros and how they did this week!
