Righty looks sharp in spring debut, throws two scoreless innings

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Andrew Moore was rushed to the big leagues last year as a 23-year-old rookie when the Mariners' rotation was hit hard by injuries. But the former Oregon State standout learned from some rocky times and got off to a nice start on the new campaign Friday with two hitless innings in Seattle's 3-2 win over the Padres in the Cactus League opener.

Moore and Ariel Miranda, who could find themselves competing for the Mariners' fifth rotation spot if Erasmo Ramirez isn't ready for the regular season, both pitched a pair of innings in the chilly spring debut at Peoria Stadium.
