Rays starter Matt Moore improved to 4-0 with another stellar outing Monday night at home against the Yankees. Moore sent CC Sabathia to defeat by dominating the Yankees offense.
The young, burgeoning ace allowed just two base hits while striking out nine over eight impressive innings. He threw 117 pitches, a career-high, and tied his career-high with the eight frames.
Moore gave up one run on a Robinson Cano homer in the fourth inning, but was otherwise untouchable. He walked three and his ERA actually grew from 1.00 to 1.04.
The 23-year-old has yet to give up more than two runs in any outing and he's already mowed down 29 hitters over his first 26 innings. His WHIP is outstanding at 0.92. Moore will look to win his fifth game to start the season when he next takes the mound Saturday in Chicago.
