Phillies beat reporter Matt Gelb announced yesterday that Matt Moore will be making another start for the Phillies on Saturday afternoon against the Padres.
Phillies rotation will go Velasquez/Nola/Eflin vs. Marlins and Wheeler/Moore for first two vs. Padres. Spencer Howard starts tonight.

This comes as quite a surprise, since Matt Moore was demoted from the Phillies starting rotation just three starts into the season due to what experts refer to as “bad pitching.” He was given the opportunity to start another game on June 25 because the Phillies were playing a double-header and needed a sixth starter.
