Normally, a performance like the one Jordan Montgomery delivered in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Mets at Citi Field would merely be a blip on the radar, since the left-hander has been so solid for much of the season.

But Montgomery’s inability to get out of the third inning, while tying a season-high five runs — in his worst start of the year — was part of a somewhat troubling trend among the Yankees’ rotation.

The pitching staff has not been as good over the past month as it was during most of the team’s lights-out first half — and that includes the starters.
