Command issues have haunted the Rays' left-hander in his four starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, which is to be expected. Cash believes Moore's velocity will improve with every outing, as will his command.
"I think as he stays committed with the fastball, the velocity will come back quick," Cash said. "I do agree that ultimately the most important thing is locating those pitches. It takes a little time to fine-tune being able to hit that spot that you want to hit over and over."
The Rays staked Moore to a 2-0 lead after their second turn at bat, only to see the Phillies erase that lead with a three-run second.
