FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Matt Moore made his first start of the spring Monday in the Rays' 3-2 win over the Red Sox. And though he surrendered a home run to the first batter he faced, the Rays left-hander looked as though he's ready to pick up where he left off at the end of the 2015 season.

Moore wasn't pitching in games last spring, instead laboring in the final stages of rehab from Tommy John surgery. He returned to the Rays on July 2 to begin the first of his two stints with the team.
