Matt Moore started the only game the Tampa Bay Rays have won since May 24, and getting deeper into a game allowed him to end the club's six-game losing streak with him on the mound.
The struggling Rays need him again Thursday night as they begin a four-game set in Minnesota, where the Twins have been plenty beatable this season.
Moore (2-3, 5.31 ERA) was far from brilliant in Saturday's 9-5 home win over the New York Yankees, giving up three runs and eight hits with three walks in 6 2/3 innings.
