Moore Throws 1-2/3 Innings of Scoreless Ball, as the Rays Route the Phillies, 6-3

The Tampa Bay Rays routed the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 6-3 Monday, despite a messy 26 pitch (15 strikes) first inning by Matt Moore. The Rays southpaw got out of a bases loaded jam unscathed, ultimately posting a 1.2 IP/2 H/0 R/1 BB/2 K line on 37 pitches (23 strikes) — averaging 91-92 MPH on the Port Charlotte Sports Complex radar gun. The Rays were scoreless until the seventh inning, when they broke the game open with a five run inning against RHP Michael Stutes. Jeremy Moore added an insurance run in the eighth with a 2-1 solo shot to left-center field.
