ST. PETERSBURG Matt Moore, the Rays top pitching prospects, threw the first nine inning no-hitter Thursday night by a Rays minor leaguer since 2002.
The left-hander, rated by Baseball America as the Rays second-best pitching prospect heading into this season behind Jeremy Hellickson, allowed two walks and struck out 11 to lead Double A Montgomery to an 8-0 victory against Mobile. It was the first no-hitter in Biscuits history.
“Right after the last out, it felt like a flashback. Did that just happen? Am I dreaming? It was just an unbelievable feeling,” Moore told Stacy Long of the Montgomery Advertiser.
The last Tampa Bay prospect to throw a nine inning no-hitter was Gerardo Garcia on May 22, 2002 while pitching for Double A Orlando.
