RHP Andrew Moore was scheduled to start against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night, but was scratched with a stiff neck. Moore (1-5, 5.34 ERA) won his major league debut on June 22 against the Detroit Tigers, but will end the season winless in his past 10 appearances, including nine starts.

RHP Andrew Moore will start Saturday against the Angels. It will be his final start in a rookie season that has been all about learning how to battle through adversity. Moore won his major league debut, holding the Detroit Tigers to three runs and six hits in seven innings on June 22. But he hasn't won since, and overall is 1-5 with a 5.34 ERA in 11 games (nine starts). He has faced the Angels once, giving up four runs and six hits in 1 2/3 innings during a relief appearance on Aug. 11.

RHP Andrew Moore will start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels in place of RHP Felix Hernandez, who has battled right shoulder soreness throughout much of the season Moore is 1-5 with a 5.34 ERA in 11 appearances, including nine starts, this season. "Andrew Moore, first time up in the big leagues," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "It's been good. He's learned a lot though his struggles. He seems to have bounce back pretty well."

RHP Andrew Moore was one possibility to start on Saturday, Servais said. While Servais declined to name a starter for the contest against Cleveland, he praised Moore, who has posted a 3.24 ERA in 11 2/3 innings in September. "I think Andrew Moore's well on his way, kind of getting the ball rolling again in the right direction with some of the adjustments he's made," Servais said. "We're seeing some results off it and that's what you want to see from young players." For the season, Moore is 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA in 45 innings.

RHP Andrew Moore carried a shutout into the fifth inning before coming undone, allowing a two-run homer to Astros LF Derek Fisher and ultimately surrendering three runs on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings. It marked the first time since Aug. 11 against the Angels that Moore failed to pitch at least six innings. Moore matched his career low with just one strikeout.

RHP Andrew Moore also was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. After entering the season as Seattle's top-rated pitching prospect, Moore has gone 1-3 with a 6.34 ERA in 34 2/3 innings over seven appearances with six starts. But Mariners manager Scott Servais said he'll remain in the bullpen for now.

RHP Andrew Moore was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma, just one day after being recalled. The rookie made his first career relief appearance Friday night, allowing four runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels rallied from a four-run deficit to tie the score. L.A. went on to win with an unearned run in the ninth

RHP Andrew Moore was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma with LHP James Paxton going on the disabled list. Moore, a rookie, made his first career relief appearance Fridaynight, allowing four runs in six hits in 1 2/3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels rallied from a four-run deficit for a 6-5 win. "Putting guys away, that's what I struggled with," Moore said. He admitted coming on in relief was something new. "I've done piggyback a few times (in the low levels of the minors), but nothing like that. It was hard trying to stay locked in (while in the bullpen). It's just a matter of getting your head right." Moore was 1-3 with a 5.65 ERA in six starts for the Mariners earlier this season.

RHP Andrew Moore was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday to fill the roster opening created when LHP James Paxton was placed on the DL. Moore is 1-3 with a 5.65 ERA in six starts with the Mariners this season. He is 3-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 outings for Tacoma.

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."

RHP Andrew Moore (1-3) suffered the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. He gave up two home runs, to Sandy Leon and Rafael Devers, the Nos. 8-9 batters in Boston's lineup. "The home run ball continues to get him a little bit," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "He's learning and I certainly like his competitiveness. He just didn't have that strikeout pitch today."

RHP Andrew Moore (1-2) struggled against the Yankees, allowing five runs on nine hits in six innings. That included a three-run homer to Aaron Judge, a blast that nearly left Safeco Field and was estimated at 450 feet. "He made a bad pitch to Judge. Bad pitch in a bad spot and a bad result," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "He does have that fastball that rises up in the zone and guys in the big leagues are going to hit that farther than guys in the minor leagues. ... Andrew's learning. I still like the way he's going about it."

RHP Andrew Moore allowed a career-high five runs and gave up three home runs in three innings Sunday against the White Sox for the shortest outing of his career in his fourth major league start and first on the road. He has allowed at least one home run in all four of his starts. Moore's ERA is 5.25.

RHP Andrew Moore made his third career start and third quality start Saturday. Moore allowed three runs on six hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out two. The walks were the first of his career, as he didn't issue a base on balls to the first 69 batters he faced until walking Oakland's Bruce Maxwell and Matt Chapman back-to-back with one out in the fourth inning. "I thought Andrew was not as sharp as he has been," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "Still, he gave us six innings and allowed just three runs. He's a really good competitor and kept us in there."
