Rays starting pitcher Matt Moore put an end to a three-game losing streak in his last start Thursday against the Yankees. Moore said the key to ending his skid was staying aggressive in the strike zone and attacking hitters early in the count.
Moore, who will be back on the hill Tuesday against the Blue Jays, said he learned a lot while he struggled at the outset of June, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"Instead of trying to figure a way out and hustle to get out of that, I understood that in as long a season as this one, there's going to be ups and downs," he said. "I was more so trying to pay attention to certain things that (stunk) … and try to really just embrace that. That way I'm not nervous about something to go wrong again."
