Montero dazzles as Mets shut out Reds

Supremely talented, yet maddeningly erratic, Rafael Montero has spent the past four years perplexing the Mets with his flashes of brilliance and inability to maintain them. Perhaps, finally, his unevenness has come to an end. Montero continued his most consistent run as a big leaguer with 8 1/3 shutout innings Wednesday, leading the Mets to a 2-0 win over the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
