Matt Moore ran his record to 8-0 after tossing seven innings of one-run ball in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Orioles.
Moore notched just three strikeouts on the day, but he allowed only five hits and walked one. The left-hander has still had some control problems this season, but he's limited the damage by giving up just 34 hits over 55 innings. A few more balls are sure to start falling in at some point, but the young southpaw should remain a fantasy ace. He'll face the Yankees next weekend. May 19 - 5:19 PM

Matt Moore allowed three runs over six innings in the Rays' 5-3 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The final line is a little misleading for the southpaw, as the Sox did all their damage with the first four batters of the game. Moore then held Red Sox batters to just one hit and two walks over the next five innings, striking out eight in the process. He now owns a 2.44 ERA through eight starts. His next will come Sunday as the Rays visit the Orioles.

Matt Moore allowed two runs over five innings, earning the win as the Rays beat the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Moore wasn't stellar on Wednesday, but he didn't need to be. The lefty scattered six hits and four walks in his five innings, striking out just two. The effort was good enough to get him his sixth win, and Moore owns a 2.14 ERA on the season. He should be sharper Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore labored through Friday's start against the Rockies, giving up a season-high four runs over five innings in a no-decision.

Moore allowed seven hits (including two homers) to go along with four walks and three strikeouts. He threw just 53 out of 101 pitches for strikes before exiting. The young left-hander had allowed just four runs in 32 innings over his first five starts combined, but Coors Field can make even the best pitchers look mortal. We like his chances of getting back on track next week against the Blue Jays at home.

Matt Moore tossed six innings of one-run ball Saturday as the Rays beat the White Sox 10-4.

Moore yielded only three hits and struck out nine. He is now 5-0 with a brilliant 1.13 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 38/15 K/BB ratio in 32 innings (five starts) this season. The 23-year-old left-hander is ready to emerge as one of the top starting pitchers in Major League Baseball.

Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore gave up just one run and two hits in eight innings versus the Yankees to move to 4-0 on Monday.

While there was no doubting Moore's upside, it's still a surprise to see him pitching this well right out of the gate this year. He struck out nine more batters tonight, giving him 29 K's in 26 innings for the season. He's allowed just three runs and 10 hits.

Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings, and the Rays beat the Orioles on Wednesday.

Moore's only blemish was a two-run homer, his first earned runs allowed on the year, by Adam Jones in the third inning. With seven strikeouts in the game, Moore has now fanned 20 batters in 18 innings of work this season. He'll try to keep the hot start going against the Yankees on Monday.

Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore limited the Rangers to one hit over 5 1/3 innings in the Rays' 2-0 victory Wednesday.

Moore walked six and threw a couple of wild pitches, but the Rangers couldn't make him pay. He's yet to allow a run in 11 1/3 innings this season, striking out 13 in the process.
Apr 10 - 6:38 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore turned in an outstanding performance in his season debut against the Indians on Friday, allowing just two hits over six scoreless innings.

Moore punched out eight on the evening while walking just two. The 23-year-old left-hander has always possessed immense talent, and if he can continue to improve his command and efficiency he'll quickly become a truly elite fantasy starter.
Apr 5 - 10:05 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore was sharp Saturday, allowing one hit in four innings and striking out five against the Tigers.

Moore might not be especially consistent, but he still figures to be one of the AL's better fantasy pitchers this year. After struggling initially, he allowed just two earned runs over 13 2/3 innings in his final three spring starts.
Mar 30 - 4:29 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore allowed just two runs but walked five over 4 2/3 frames against the Pirates Monday.

He also surrendered six hits and struck out three. With a 4.67 ERA and 13 walks over 17 1/3 Grapefruit League innings, Moore hasn't performed as hoped this spring, especially after he issued 81 walks during his rookie campaign. We still like him as a breakout candidate, but he has to start showing better control.
Mar 25 - 11:30 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore allowed just an unearned run over five innings and struck out seven Friday in the Rays' 3-2 defeat of the Phillies.

That's a better showing for Moore, who had given up seven runs and six walks in 7 2/3 innings this spring. He walked two today, and all three hits he allowed were singles.
Mar 15 - 4:21 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore surrendered three runs in 3 2/3 innings Sunday in his start versus the Red Sox.

David Ross's homer supplied all of the runs. We're expecting a breakthrough season from Moore this year, but he's yet to show much while allowing seven runs and walking six in 7 2/3 innings this spring. It'd at least be nice to see him get the walks under control over the next couple of weeks.
Mar 10 - 5:38 PM
Matt Moore - S - Rays

Making his spring debut, Matt Moore gave up two runs in 1 1/3 innings out of the pen Thursday against the Tigers.

Moore was scheduled to throw two innings, but he was shaky in walking two and allowing three hits. Read nothing into the fact that he was pitching in relief: the Rays were simply more interested in seeing what Roberto Hernandez could do with the start.

Matt Moore - S - Rays

Matt Moore was terrific in Saturday’s victory over the White Sox, allowing just one hit and two walks over 5 1/3 scoreless innings.

Moore racked up five strikeouts. It was a stellar bounceback effort from the young left-hander, who hadn’t gone more than four innings in any of his previous three starts. He has struggled mightily to meet the lofty expectations set for him before the season, and has faded quickly down the stretch, but Moore has still had a solid season for a 23-year-old rookie. He’ll finish the regular season with an 11-11 record, 3.81 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 175/81 K/BB ratio over 177 1/3 innings. His 175 strikeouts represent a new rookie record among Rays hurlers.
