LOS ANGELES — This time, the Dodgers needed just five pitches to get their first hit off of Matt Moore. It didn’t stop there.
Moore had the worst start of his career, recording just three outs and giving up six runs. The Giants lost 9-3, putting an unofficial end to their chase for a National League West title. The Dodgers’ magic number is down to five, meaning they can clinch a fourth consecutive division title as soon as this weekend.
Moore lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth the last time he took the mound at Dodger Stadium, but he wasn’t fooling anyone Wednesday night.
