national treasures

It didn’t come with the fanfare of Bryce Harper’s debut on Saturday, but Tyler Moore got his first taste of the big leagues today with Washington and did just fine. The Northwest Rankin High, Meridian Community College and Mississippi State product started in left field and went 1-for-3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Moore got his hit, a single, in his second at-bat against Chris Capuano. Uber-prospect Harper went 1-for-3 in his Nationals debut. Moore, who blasted 62 home runs the previous two seasons in the minors, had seven in 77 ABs at Triple-A Syracuse when he was called up.
