ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Despite being snubbed when All-Star rosters were announced, Matt Moore pitched like one again. Moore won his fourth consecutive start to help the Rays beat All-Star selection Chris Sale and the Chicago White Sox 3-0 on Saturday night. "No," said Moore when asked if being left off the AL squad bothered him. "Those decisions, were all subject to peoples opinions and things like that." Moore (12-3), who could still become an All-Star as an injury replacement, gave up five hits, two walks and struck out six over 6 1-3 innings. "He certainly pitched like an All-Star," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "Theres still an opportunity, possibly. Well see how it all shakes out the next couple days." The Rays have won seven of eight, improving to a season-best eight games (48-40) over .500. Fernando Rodney, the third Tampa Bay reliever, pitched the ninth for his 19th save -- completing the six-hitter. "Were playing great right now," Moore said. "On my night, its just keep the ball rolling." Sale (5-8) allowed three runs, six hits, one walk and had nine strikeouts in seven innings for the White Sox, who have lost eight of 10. The left-hander, despite giving up just 20 runs -- 17 earned -- over 49 1-3 innings, is 0-6 in his past seven starts. "I think it would be frustrating for anybody," Sale said. "I think everybody here is frustrated, not just me. Youve just got to keep trugging along. When you start getting down on yourself, thats when things get even worse than they are." Sale and Moore hooked up in a pitchers duel on May 28th of last year at Tropicana Field, a 2-1 White Sox victory in which the pair combined for 25 strikeouts (Sale 15, Moore 10). Tampa Bay took a 2-0 lead in the second when Luke Scott got the first extra-base hit this season by a left-handed hitter off Sale, an RBI double, and Desmond Jennings had a run-scoring grounder. "You cant expect him to blank everybody," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Hes pitching fine, competing and doing all the things you want him to do. Its just when you dont get any runs, it seems like its wasted." Wil Myers opened the sixth with an infield single, a liner that went off Sales glove, and advanced two bases to third on a nifty baserunning play when Jose Lobaton hit a one-out grounder that third baseman Conor Gillaspie had to move toward second to field. The Rays rookie then scored to make it 3-0 on a single by Sam Fuld. Moore got a key defensive play from third baseman Evan Longoria, who caught Alex Rios liner with two on and no outs in the third and dove to the bag to double up Alejandro De Aza. The threat ended when Adam Dunn flew out. On "Turn Back the Clock Night," the Rays, an expansion team in 1998, wore hypothetical uniforms from 1979, while the White Sox used 1972 replica home uniforms. "It definitely reeks of the mid-1970s, and I like that," Maddon said. "I think theyre very tasty." Injured White Sox reliever Jesse Crain was also picked to the AL All-Star team with Sale before the game. Tampa Bays lone selection was infielder-outfielder Ben Zobrist. NOTES: Moore has not allowed a run in his past 17 1-3 innings. ... Tampa Bay LHP David Price (2-4) will make his second start Sunday since returning from a strained left triceps. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner, who allowed three hits over seven innings in an 8-0 win over Houston Tuesday, will face Chicago LHP John Danks (2-5). ... White Sox RHP Jake Peavy, on the DL since June 6 with a broken left rib, is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game on Tuesday. ... Maddon decided to keep left-handed hitting 1B James Loney, who has a career-high 16-game hitting streak, out of the lineup against Sale. Loney entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth, but didnt bat.. ... Chicago OF Dewayne Wise (strained right oblique) is set to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.

Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. A lovely Callum Wilson goal in the 79th minute was enough to secure Bournemouth their first league victory of the season, a deserved 1-0 win over West Brom at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.It wasnt the greatest first half of football, and failed to generate any excitement, although the home side totally dominated the possession. Eddie Howes men looked comfortable, and got themselves into good positions, but couldnt find a way through the deep-lying West Brom defence. Nacer Chadli and Matt Phillips showed brief flashes of quality, but they were too few to make any difference, leaving Said Berahino a relative bystander.The away side came out firing at the start of the second half as they pushed in search of a goal, but the feeling persisted that Bournemouth were comfortable enough, and looked dangerous on the break with the pace of Ibe, Stanislas and King.Sure enough Tony Pulis men soon ran out of puff, and theree was a buzz of excitement around the crowd as the much-hyped Jack Wilshire made his Bournemouth bow in place of the lively Ibe.dddddddddddd He looked comfortable amongst his new teammates, and was an integral part of the short-passing football they put together to keep their opponents at arms-length.The goal was a cracker, one which will certainly find a place in the Callum Wilson scrapbook, as he got on the end of a low Adam Smith cross to dispatch a back-heel past the despairing dive of Ben Foster and into the far corner.Apart from a bit of handbags near the corner flag, Bournemouth had more than enough quality to see out the rest of the game with relative ease to draw them level on points with their opponents, leaving you with the feeling that all is not well in the West Brom camp.
