ST. PETERSBURG — Rays LHP Matt Moore, fresh off the best spring of his career, makes his season debut this afternoon in the finale of the four-game series with the Blue Jays.
Not only did Moore have a solid spring, he also felt he pitched better than he did in September when he was 2-1 with a 2.97 ERA in six starts.
“I feel as ready for the beginning of a season as I ever had,” Moore said. “Typically in the past it’s been a slow-start thing for me where it takes me a few weeks, four or five starts to get into the mix.
