The Tampa Bay Rays came into their final series before the All-Star Break having lost 15 of their last 18. They desperately needed to get back on track, and they managed to do just that by finishing off a sweep of the Houston Astros on Sunday by the score of 4-3. Matt Moore’s command is still lacking since his return from Tommy John surgery, but he was able to get through five innings and the Rays’ offense and bullpen did the rest.
The Astros struck early with a run in the first inning off an Evan Gattis groundout.
