SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants needed a lengthy outing from Matt Moore, and he delivered.
Moore pitched into the eighth inning, Brandon Belt and Justin Ruggiano homered and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Saturday in a matchup of weary teams.
San Francisco and Cincinnati had a quick turnaround after they played 17 innings Friday night, with the Giants winning 3-2 on Buster Posey's game-ending homer.
Moore (2-4) provided a lift with 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He allowed eight hits, struck out seven and walked three.
"It was really needed for us for him to get us deep in the game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
