The left-hander's first win since undergoing Tommy John surgery on April 22, 2014, though, was not as crisp as Moore would have hoped, as he allowed a baserunner in every inning he pitched except the fifth.
The shakiness began in the first after he walked Marwin Gonzalez with one out and then served up a double to Carlos Correa. Three pitches later, the Astros took an early 1-0 lead with an RBI groundout from Evan Gattis.
Then, Moore prolonged the inning by walking Colby Rasmus, but he was able to get out of the jam by getting Chris Carter to fly out to center field.
