BOSTON -- Matt Moore keeps struggling when he warms up in the bullpen before the game. Then he dominates when he gets out to the mound. Joe Maddon is eager to see the trend continue. "Maybe well kick him in the shins before he goes out," the Tampa Bay manager said after Moore pitched his first career shutout, a two-hitter to beat the Boston Red Sox 3-0 on Monday night and give the Rays their sixth consecutive win. Ben Zobrist had three hits and James Loney drove in two runs for the Rays, who have lost just twice in 20 games since June 28. In the last month, the Rays have improved from last place to one-half game behind Boston in the AL East. "I really believed we were going to get back into it," Maddon said. "I didnt know when." In his first start since pitching a scoreless fifth inning in the All-Star game, Moore (14-3) gave up Mike Napolis single in the second and David Ortizs base-hit in the seventh. Ortiz took second on a wild pitch -- the only baserunner to get past first. "That was impressive to watch," Red Sox starter Brandon Workman said. Moore walked one batter, struck out four and needed just 109 pitches -- just three of them were "non-competitive," pitching coach Jim Hickey said -- for his first career complete game and his sixth win in a row. He needed just six pitches to get through the sixth inning. "I think thats the most efficient Ive been," Moore said. "I think thats probably the best game Ive ever thrown (considering) the Red Sox are playing well, and were on the road." Moore said he struggled in the bullpen trying to warm up before the game -- just as he did at Citi Field for last weeks All-Star game. "It was pretty bad back there," he saaid.dddddddddddd "But I told (catcher Jose Lobaton), Were going to be OK. Well figure it out out there." Workman (0-1) made his second career start, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks, striking out four in six innings. "Overall, a very well-pitched game on both sides. But Matt Moore was the story of the night," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We really didnt have a chance to get anything going." Workman, who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his other start, allowed three straight singles to start the game before Loney made it 1-0 on a sacrifice fly. Loney, who rejoined the team from the paternity list on Sunday, also had a run-scoring single in the fifth. Loney was the only established major-leaguer acquired by Boston in last-seasons salary-dumping trade that sent Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Desmond Jennings drove in the third run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Jose De La Torre. Yunel Escobar, who hadnt played since the All-Star break because of a right hamstring strain, returned to the lineup for Tampa Bay and went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run. He played errorless defence at shortstop for the 53rd consecutive game, a club record. Notes: The Red Sox said a second opinion on Clay Buchholzs right shoulder showed no significant structural damage. ... In his last six starts, all wins, Moore has a 1.50 ERA. ...

In Workmans previous start, he had his no-hit bid broken up by Coco Crisps infield hit to start the seventh inning. ... All 10 hits in the game were singles. ' ' '
