Rangers vs. Rays: Scoreless After 1 Inning

Now we’re well underway, as both starting pitchers turned in scoreless first frames.

C.J. Wilson was arguably twice as good as Matt Moore, though, as Wilson needed only nine pitches to dispatch the Rays in order, while Moore needed 18 pitches, in part because of Josh Hamilton’s single to left field.

Still, the pitch count for Moore doesn’t figure to be a large issue, as his lack of action in recent weeks would suggest Joe Maddon will give his rookie starter a short leash, anyway.
