Picks up first save Moore threw a perfect inning and earned a save over Houston on Monday.
Impact Moore needed just six pitches to quickly retire the Astros in order and finish off the 5-3 win. He's riding a six-inning scoreless streak since coughing up three runs against the Rays on May 30. The veteran southpaw is sporting a 2.54 ERA with a 35:16 K:BB through 28.1 innings.

Earns win with two strong innings Moore (3-0) picked up the win Saturday against the White Sox, striking out five batters across a pair of scoreless innings without allowing a baserunner.
Impact Moore entered a tied game in the bottom of the eighth and did his job expertly across the next two frames, striking out five batters while getting the sixth to pop out. That left him as the pitcher of record when the Rangers scored four runs in the top of the 10th. Moore has been surprisingly effect in a relief role this season, cruising to a 2.63 ERA and 29.7 percent strikeout rate in 27.1 innings of work.

Nearly immaculate Moore allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.
Impact Moore nearly had an immaculate sixth inning, striking out the first two batters on six pitches and getting to 0-2 on the third batter before a groundout on the ninth and final pitch of the frame. The lefty, who made his fourth consecutive scoreless appearance Wednesday, has allowed one run on four hits and eight walks while striking out 10 over 8.1 innings since his contract was selected when Josh Sborz (elbow) landed on the injury list. While the walk rate needs to be better, Moore credits a new grip on his curveball for his results, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Texas manager Chris Woodward has been impressed, and it looks like Moore will remain in the bullpen when Sborz is healthy and could evolve into a high-leverage role.

Corey Seager once wrecked Matt Moore's no-hitter. They're teammates now Moore was one out away from his first big-league no-hitter in August 2016 until Seager knocked a 'jam-shot hit' to right field.

Contract selected by Rangers Moore's contract was selected by the Rangers on Saturday.
Impact Moore joined the Rangers on a minor-league deal in mid-March, but he'll now link up with the big-league club after Josh Sborz (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 32-year-old Moore made two relief appearances at Triple-A Round Rock to begin the year, and he struck out seven in five scoreless frames. Although the southpaw has experience as a starter, he'll likely pitch out of the bullpen for now.

Shifts to 60-day injured list Moore (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact The move confirms that the back strain that sent Moore to the injured list Thursday will in fact be season-ending. His return to MLB after a 2020 season spent in Japan wound up being a disappointing one, as he struggled to a 6.29 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 13 starts and 11 relief appearances. The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the Phillies to select Kyle Dohy's contract.
