Rays win in coldest day game ever at Rangers Ballpark

Matt Moore and four Rays relievers combined on a five-hitter and Tampa Bay beat Texas, 2-0, yesterday in the coldest day game ever at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas.

It was only 39 degrees when the game started after a rain delay of 1 hour, 29 minutes. That was 40 degrees colder than Tuesday night.

Evan Longoria had a sacrifice fly for the Rays, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Their other run came on a grounder after Derek Holland (0-1) walked the bases loaded, his only three walks in his eight innings.

Moore (2-0) limited Texas to a single and struck out five, but had six walks and threw 106 pitches -- 52 of them balls with two wild pitches -- to get into the sixth. He benefited from two double-play grounders, one soon after he came out of the game.

The only other time Moore pitched in Texas was the 2011 AL Division Series opener, when he threw seven scoreless innings for the Rays.

Blue Jays 8, Tigers 6: J.P. Arencibia hit a three-run double in the seventh inning to cap visiting Toronto's comeback from a five-run deficit.

Cardinals 10, Reds 0: Jake Westbrook (1-1) quickly finished off a five-hitter for his first shutout in more than six years, backed by four home runs by host St. Louis.

Giants 11, Rockies 0: Buster Posey drove in three runs with NBA star Kevin Durant cheering him from the stands and Barry Zito (2-0) won his 11th straight decision as host San Francisco completed a sweep.

Diamondbacks 10, Pirates 2: A.J. Pollock homered twice, doubled and had four RBIs as host Arizona salvaged the final game of its series against Pittsburgh.
