Jamie Moyer was 0-4 in four career starts against the Colorado Rockies going into last night. After Moyer gave up a 3-run homer in the top of the first, he would need help from the Phillies' bats to get his first career win against Colorado... and the Philadelphia lineup answered the call with 20 runs to give Moyer his first career win against Colorado.
Moyer's first win against Colorado gave him a win over all 30 teams in the majors. Here are some facts about the 45 year old pitcher's amazing feat:
- Moyer has appeared against the Angels and Athletics 47 times each. He is 18-16 against the Angels and 17-15 against the Athletics.
- Moyer has earned 18 wins each against the Angels and Orioles but he is an amazing 18-4 in his career against Baltimore while his 16 losses to the Angels are the most he has had against any team.
- Moyer is undefeated against two of the 30 teams he has faced: the Florida Marlins (7-0 in seven starts) and his first team, the Chicago Cubs (2-0 in five starts).
- In Interleague Play, Moyer is 18-10 with a 3.04 ERA in 34 starts.
- Last week, Moyer tied teammate Rudy Seanez amongst active players for playing in the most major league parks. With Moyer's appearance at Nationals Park, both pitchers have appeared in 46 parks.
