SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Moore pitched into the eighth inning to give San Francisco's weary bullpen a much-needed rest, Brandon Belt homered for the second time in three days and the Giants held on to beat the Reds, 3-1, on Saturday at AT&T Park in just 2 hours, 33 minutes.
One day after outlasting the Reds in 17 innings (and 5 hours, 28 minutes) while using all seven relievers, the Giants got a big outing from Moore (2-4), who earned a win for the first time since April 10. The left-hander pitched out of multiple jams early, gave up one run over 7 1/3 innings, walked three and struck out seven while throwing a season-high 119 pitches.
