Matt Moore shut down the Orioles on Friday, allowing six hits and three walks over 5 1/3 scoreless innings. Moore punched out six in the game, but labored early and threw 108 pitches without making it out of the sixth inning. He has pitched much better in the second half of the season, going 5-2 with a 2.93 ERA and 47/27 K/BB ratio over nine starts spanning 55 2/3 innings. He'll look to keep things rolling when he squares off against the Blue Jays at home on Thursday.
