On June 4, I wrote this about Matt Moore:

Moore allowed very few hits this season; his BA allowed comes in at .178 with a BABIP of .201. On top of that, opponents hit just .071 against him with runners in scoring position, 3 for 42. I suspect the Tampa Bay defense helped him a lot. If not, it’s going to be ugly when he regresses to his mean.

Moore is pitching in his third start since that post. He allowed five runs in the first five innings against the Royals Friday night, and allowed 20 runs, 19 earned, in 12 innings during those three starts. That includes 25 hits. I’d say that’s an ugly regression. We’ll see how far he goes in this game.

The Royals lead the Rays 5-2.
