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 said. "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.

STORRS, Conn. -- UConn coach Kevin Ollie is hoping his young Huskies can gel early and peak late.The defending American Athletic Conference tournament champions have added a highly touted recruiting class of five freshmen and VCU transfer Terry Larrier to a solid core returning from last years 25-11 squad.But the Huskies roster includes just three players -- seniors Rodney Purvis, Kentan Facey and Amida Brimah -- who have played more than one season for Ollie.The fifth-year head coach said that means his biggest challenge is getting everyone to mesh before a tough non-conference schedule in November and December.I dont want to throw away games early in the season, like we did last year, Ollie said.About 60 percent of the Huskies scoring from 2015-16 is gone with the departure of seven players, including Daniel Hamilton for the NBA draft and Sterling Gibbs and Shonn Miller, the former graduate transfers who used up their eligibility.This years backcourt is expected to pick up much of that scoring slack. The preseason conference freshman of the year, Alterique Gilbert, joins Jalen Adams, who received the same honor last year, and Purvis.Purvis, who averaged just under 13 points a game last season, said he believes there will be many times when all three guards will be on the court at once.We dont have positions, Purvis said. Once we get in the flow of the game and coach gets to throwing different lineups out there, your position dont really matter.The Huskies could also go big, with the 6-foot-8 Larrier at small forward, joining 6-10 Facey or 6-11 sophomore Steven Enoch and the 7-foot shot blocker Brimah down low.Freshmen Christian Vital, Vance Jackson, Mamadou Diarra and Juwan Durham are also expected to compete for playing time.Here are some other things to watch for as the Huskies defend their conference championship:OUT OF CONFERENCE TESTSThe early season includes a trip to the Maui Invitational, with first--round opponent Oklahoma State and North Carolina on the Huskies side of the bracket.dddddddddddd. Oregon, Tennessee, Georgetown and Wisconsin are on the other side. UConn also faces out-of-conference games with Syracuse, Ohio State and Auburn in November and December before visiting the Hoyas in January.GROWING RIVALRY:The Huskies have been picked by the leagues coaches to finish second behind Cincinnati. UConn beat the Bearcats in the conference tournament last season with the help of Adams, who sent the game into a fourth overtime with a 3-pointer from well beyond half court at the buzzer . The rivals wont play until Feb. 4 in Ohio and close the season against each other on March 5 at Gampel Pavilion.NUMBER CHANGE:Rodney Purvis has changed his number from 44 to 15 following the death of a close friend. Tryek Coger, who lived for a time with the Purvis family in North Carolina, was planning to wear the number 15 this season for Oklahoma State. The guard died after a July workout of an undiagnosed heart condition. The two were to meet on the court in November at the Maui Invitational.ARMENIAN STAR?Enoch spent part of the summer playing for the Armenian national team. The Norwalk native has no Armenian ancestry, and had never been overseas before this summer. He received dual citizenship in order to play at the FIBA Under-20 Division B European Championships, were he averaged 17.2 points and 15.3 rebounds in six games.BRIMAHS BACKBrimah, UConns center, played just 25 games last season because of injuries. But he still managed to black 67 shots, giving him 280 for his career. That is third in program history behind Emeka Okafors 441 and Hasheem Thabeets 417. Brimah also shot 66 percent from the floor last season, in large part because of his ability to catch and dunk lob passes. ' ' '
