Moore (4-5) twirled seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out six in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw held the Red Sox hitless through five innings and escaped a key bases-loaded jam in the sixth while outpitching the Rays' former-ace David Price. Moore had been in a similar situation just five days prior to this one when he took a no-hitter into the fifth before falling apart in the sixth. This time, though, he got out of the jam en route to his fourth win of the year. The 27-year-old has tossed seven scoreless innings in two of his last four starts, and has his ERA down to its lowest point since April at 4.67.

Moore (3-5) surrendered seven hits, five earned runs and a walk over 6.2 innings in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Orioles. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's performance was a mixed bag, with the five earned runs surrendered a black mark, but the 18 swinging strikes induced certainly a positive. He gave up a solo shot to Adam Jones in the fourth, and otherwise was done in by lesser hits. In the 'What Else Is New" category, he also suffered from a general lack of run support by the Rays offense. It was a step back overall for the 27-year-old southpaw, who'd delivered back-to-back quality starts prior to Friday's outing. He'll try to turn things around versus the Red Sox next Wednesday afternoon.

Moore allowed two runs on six hits, struck out five and walked two over six innings in a no-decision versus San Francisco on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He allowed a solo homer in the second and pushed across another run by plunking a batter with the bases loaded in the fifth. Over his last two starts, Moore has allowed just two runs on eight hits and struck out 15 in 13 innings. Moore will look to keep this momentum going in his next start Friday versus the Orioles.

Moore (3-4) tossed seven scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the Astros, allowing just two singles to Jose Altuve while walking one and striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

The 10 K's tied his season high, while it was the first time in six starts that he hadn't allowed a home run. It was just Moore's fifth quality start on the year, as high pitch counts and sometimes shaky command have saddled him with a 5.05 ERA despite his talent. He'll look to build on his momentum Saturday when the Rays host the Giants.

Moore (2-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in a loss Tuesday to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Moore still can't figure out how to keep the ball in the yard. He was touched up for home runs by Jake Lamb and Paul Goldschmidt on Tuesday to raise his total to 14 allowed on the season. Only Max Scherzer (16) has given up more home runs than Moore this season. Moore has never allowed more than 18 home runs in a season, and rediscovering that ability to keep the ball on the ground and out of the seats will be the only way for him to bring his 5.56 ERA down to earth.

Moore, who was lifted Thursday after throwing 96 pitches in five innings in a 6-4 loss to the Twins, has expressed a desire to be allowed to go longer in his starts, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "It's baseball. This is not Little League with pitch counts or high school where they are trying to keep you healthy and things like that. This is the major leagues - it's time to go. This is something that we prepare for.''

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old made his comments to reporters following Thursday's game, during which he gave up eights hits and four runs over his five frames, and also blew leads in two separate instances. Moore went on to clarify that he wasn't officially questioning manager Kevin Cash's decision-making process, but wanted to emphasize how capable he feels he and his rotation mates are of working through some of the trouble they encounter within their starts. "I'm not questioning the moves they're making, I'm just saying we do have more in the tank,'' Moore said. "That if he does allow us to go out there for the sixth or the seventh or whatever inning it is, that we are going to be okay, that we are going to be able to compete in those moments. And to us starters it doesn't matter how many times the lineups turn over. It doesn't matter who we're playing. The mentality within our group is we're going to go out there until he takes the ball from us.'' After a first month of the season that saw Moore produce quality starts in three of his five trips to the mound, he's gotten past the fifth inning only once in six subsequent starts. He's currently sporting a bloated 5.46 ERA after his latest debacle Thursday night.

Moore tossed five innings against the Twins on Thursday, but he didn't factor in the decision. He allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while fanning four.

EDGE Analysis

Moore has a 5.46 ERA this season, and while the strikeout totals remain fairly decent with 60 over 60.2 innings, he's struggled overall. Moore had a 7.36 ERA during May, and this performance doesn't exactly show an improvement over what he's done the past month. He will try to leave his struggles behind in his next start against the Diamondbacks on the road Tuesday.

Moore (2-3) tossed 6.2 innings Saturday against the Yankees, in which he allowed only three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old lefty lasted more than six innings for the first time this month, and Saturday's performance has been the best he's done over the course of May. Moore continues to struggle with the homers and he's allowed at least one in eight of his last 10 starts, but at least he showed a marked improvement over what he's done in the past few weeks. His next start is scheduled to happen against the Twins on Thursday.

Moore allowed five runs on 10 hits and a walk with three strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision Monday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Supposedly Moore addressed a hitch in his delivery between his previous start and this one, but the results suggest he needs to head back to the drawing board. Moore didn't miss bats (seven swinging strikes in 88 pitches) and allowed three extra-base hits including his ninth home run allowed in as many starts. In Moore's first two full seasons with the Rays he allowed fewer than a home run per nine innings, but he has given up 17 home runs in just 109 innings (1.4 HR/9) since returning from injury in 2015. His ERA is now up to 5.47 and he won't improve that until he can figure out how to keep the ball in the yard once again.

Moore utilized the extra time afforded him between starts to adjust a slight hitch in his mechanics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays' southpaw used an additional bullpen session during the week to smooth out what was termed "a slight hitch" in his mechanics, namely, a brief stall in his hands when they were overhead during the wind-up process. Moore is looking forward to getting back into action Monday night against the Marlins, after an extra two days off."It's going to be nice to get back out there," he said. "It does feel like it's been a while." Manager Kevin Cash felt the extra time between starts might benefit the 26-year-old, who is 0-3, 6.51 over his past five starts after generating a 2.95 ERA over his first three trips to the mound this season.
