Adrian Beltre moving up the hit ladder was the sole highlight as Rangers, Matt Moore get rocked by Blue Jays

ARLINGTON -- The extra day of rest didn't help Matt Moore much in his second career start for the Rangers. The veteran left-hander whom Texas traded for in December allowed six runs, five earned, in 3 1/3 innings Friday night in an 8-5 loss to Toronto.

"There's too many good pitches with two strikes getting hit," said Moore, who dropped to 0-2. "In general, it's overall command, but I think the little things in your mechanics are what lead up to that thought process. I did feel better today, so I'm trying to be as positive as I can.
