Rays starting pitcher Matt Moore allowed an unearned run and three hits over five strong innings during Tampa Bay's 3-1 win over Philadelphia in a Grapefruit League contest Friday.
Moore, who has been fighting his command throughout the spring, fanned seven batters while walking a pair.
His only run allowed came after his errant pick-off throw in the second inning as he lowered his spring ERA from 8.22 to 4.97 after his fourth outing.
"It was better. It's still not the finished product," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He was better, but there is still another level of him like we've seen in the past."
