Matt Moore: Tampa Bay Rays becomes youngest lefty to start 8-0 since 1917
Matt Moore is making quite a name for himself early in the 2013 season. The 23-year-old lefty improved to 8-0 on Sunday as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. In doing so, Moore became the youngest left-handed pitcher to start a season 8-0 since Babe Ruth did it as a 22-year-old in 1917. Fun fact: Ruth made just $3,500 that year, and went 24-13 with a 2.01 ERA. Moore...

Odorizzi, who was acquired from Kansas City in the offseason in the James Shields trade, carries some major league experience. He posts...
