MLB Note - Seattle Mariners Moore, Andrew

Jul 29, 2017 - 8:19 AM RHP Andrew Moore, who was 1-3 with a 5.65 ERA in his first six major league starts, was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. "We need to get Moore back on track," said Mariners manager Scott Servais, citing the rookie's command. "He came up against Detroit and threw 18 of 18 first-pitch strikes or something like that. When he's trying to come back from down 2-0, 2-1 (in the count), he struggled." Servais said Moore still has a bright future. "I've said I think he's going to win a lot of games as a Mariner, and I still believe that" the manager said. "Where we're at in the playoff situation and trying to chase a wild-card (berth), we thought it'd be best to let him regroup in Tacoma."
