ST. PETERSBURG -- Matt Moore has paved a significant stretch of his road to recovery over his last three outings, the most recent being a seven-inning gem on Tuesday that helped propel the Rays to a 4-2 victory over the Marlins at Tropicana Field.
After struggling mightily (9 2/3 IP, 8 ER, 4 HR) in the two starts that followed his September recall from Triple-A Durham, Moore has been brilliant, delivering three consecutive quality starts while holding opponents to three earned runs in 20 2/3 innings with 19 strikeouts and three walks.
"Just attacking the strike zone," said Rays' manager Kevin Cash when asked to share the secret of his lefty's sudden reversal of fortune.
