Patrick Smith/Getty Images(BALTIMORE) -- Rays' left-hander Matt Moore pitched seven-innings of one-run ball leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Sunday.

Moore allowed five hits and one run while striking out five and walking one.

The win improves the 23-year-old Moore's record to 8-0 on the season. That's the best start to a season for a pitcher that young since Babe Ruth did it in 1917 at age 22.

Moore didn't seem impressed by the milestone but his manager did.

"If you compare (Moore's achievement) historically, he ranks up there with Babe Ruth, and that's not a bad thing," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I think from where he's coming from, he knows he can be better. He doesn't like those five-inning outings. He doesn't like that at all. So I'm sure he's deflecting based on that. As you see him get deeper into the games and more consistent with the wins, I think you might see him step out a little bit.

"But I like the idea that there's humility involved. I like the idea that he knows that he can get better. I love that. The accountability is tremendous. That doesn't surprise me. ... Historically speaking, it's been wonderful, but there is 'more' in Moore. And he knows that."

The Rays (23-20) are now tied with the Orioles (23-20) for third in the A.L. East.

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(IRVING, Texas) -- Sang-Moon Bae took home his first PGA Tour title on Sunday after he defeated Keegan Bradley by two shots in the Byron Nelson Championship.

Bae almost let a four-hole lead slip away, but finished at 13-under 267 with a closing 1-under 69 in difficult windy conditions.

"I had a great time today," Bae said.  "Course was really tough out there, winds were really strong."

Bradley was even with Bae through 15 holes, but missed a short birdie putt on 16 to seal the victory for the 26-year-old South Korean.

"I'm pretty disappointed, but Moon played very well," Bradley said. "I just didn't play great today, but I hung in there. I chipped away. ... When I made that putt on 15, I was pretty confident that I was going to win."

Bae earned $1.2 million for the victory.

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(SAN ANTONIO) -- Tony Parker scored 20 points and dished out nine assists in the San Antonio Spurs 105-83 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 Western Conference finals victory on Sunday.

Kawhi Leonard had 18 points and shot 4-for-5 from 3-point land.

The Spurs, who only trailed for 21 seconds in the game, stormed out to a 17-point first quarter lead. The Grizzlies were able to cut the lead to six in the second quarter, but that was as close as they got.

Still, as convincing a victory as this was, the Spurs know not to count their chickens until they hatch.

"Memphis is a very tough team...very tough mentally," Parker said. "I can promise you nobody is happy in our locker room because we were up 2-0 last year (Western Conference finals versus Thunder) and we lost. This is just one game...It means nothing, and we still have a long way to go."

Mike Conley Jr. had 14 points and eight assists in the loss.

Game 2 takes place Tuesday in San Antonio. Tip-off scheduled for 9:00 P.M. Eastern.
