Rays 4, Red Sox 10: Moore Struggles, Ortiz Hits # 500 In Rays Loss
Matt Moore gives up #499 and #500 to David Ortiz as the Rays fall.When Kirby Yates is pitching the game is either going very well or very bad. Tonight happened to be the latter.
Matt Moore's second start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham wasn't close to being as successful as his first. In that first start he looked to be his old self for the first four innings, locating everything effectively and using his offspeed pitches to perfection. That wasn't the case tonight. Moore failed to command his fastball, leaving it over the middle of the plate a time or ten and paid dearly for it.
