Giants' Moore shoots for another quality start vs. Padres

SAN DIEGO -- San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is anxious to see if less of Matt Moore is better.

"He's backed off a little," Bochy told MLB.com. "He's not overthrowing."

Moore is throwing for the Giants on Tuesday in the second game of their three-game series with the San Diego Padres. The Giants, who won the opener 3-0 on Monday, hope Moore (4-12, 5.38 ERA) can produce consecutive solid starts as he tries to resurrect a season that went haywire.

"He's using all his pitches," Bochy said. "He's got a good changeup going along with the curveball and the cutter and using the fastball still effectively to both sides.
