Triple Play: Rays P Moore to start game against Cuba
Select company
LHP Matt Moore is scheduled to start Tuesday’s game in Havana against the Cuban national baseball team.
That will make him only the second major league pitcher to toe the rubber in Cuba since 1959, when the Reds and Dodgers played two exhibition games there. The other was Scott Erickson, who pitched seven innings when the Orioles played the Cuban national team March 28, 1999.
“That’s really cool,” Moore said. “Short list.”

Hue knew?
RHP Andrew Bellatti arrived for work Tuesday morning with a blue streak dyed into the middle of his hair.
“I lost a bet,” he said.
He didn’t.
Bellatti arrived last month in camp sporting the same look, only in a darker shade of blue.
