Rays sticking with Moore in rotation

"I was happy for him," Cash said after Moore allowed two runs on three hits over 4 2/3 innings Saturday against the Yankees. "In my opinion, he looked like a different guy as far as the way he continued to pound the strike zone."

Moore, who tossed 79 pitches against New York, posted a 3.30 ERA over five starts during his month at the Triple-A level.

Following Thursday's off-day, Chris Archer will start Friday's opener against Boston. Right-hander Nathan Karns, who had a 3.69 ERA over 26 starts, will continue to work out of the bullpen, though Cash has said the rookie may start again at some point this year.
