    Matt Moore was all over the place with his pitches. The result of his effort, though, has the Tampa Bay Rays right where they want to be.

    Moore had New York flailing for five wild innings, and Tampa Bay beat the Yankees 7-0 on Tuesday night to push them to the brink of missing out on the postseason for the second time in 19 years.

    "You cannot be more effectively wild than he was tonight," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.

    Tampa Bay roughed up Hiroki Kuroda in tightening its grip on an AL wild-card spot with its fifth straight win. Matt Joyce had a leadoff homer as the Rays jumped ahead 3-0 in the first and David DeJesus had two RBI doubles.
