WASHINGTON -- Marlins first baseman Tyler Moore is a big fan of Tanner Roark, who will get the start for the Washington Nationals against Miami on Wednesday at Nationals Park.
Moore was a backup first baseman/outfielder for the Nationals when Roark made his big league debut in 2013.
The right-hander was 7-1 with a 1.51 ERA that season in 14 games, with five starts. Roark then won 15 games as a starter in 2014 and last season was 16-10 with a 2.83 ERA in 34 games, with 33 starts.
"Tanner is all about makeup," said Moore, standing at his locker in the Marlins clubhouse.
