Moyer strikes out 7 but loses to Toledo

Jamie Moyer pitched well in his second start for Triple-A Norfolk, but the 49-year-old lefty was outdueled by Toledo's Jacob Turner in a 3-2 loss.

Moyer (1-1) surrendered three runs (two earned) on seven hits in seven innings. He also struck out seven.

The Tides' official twitter feed posted that Moyer had yet to throw a pitch over 82 mph at the time of his seventh strikeout in the fifth inning.

Xavier Avery had an RBI double, and he also scored on a Nate McLouth sacrifice fly.
