PEORIA, Ariz. -- Consider Matt Moore among the Giants who probably wish they could start the regular season immediately.
Moore surrendered two hits in five shutout innings for the Giants in Saturday's 6-5 Cactus League loss to the Mariners at Peoria Stadium. Moore maintained a perfect game through 3 2/3 until Kyle Seager walked. Coincidentally, Kyle's brother, Corey, shattered Moore's no-hit bid last Aug. 25 at Dodger Stadium with two outs in the ninth inning.
The 27-year-old, San Francisco's projected No. 3 starter, sensed during his pregame warmup -- which didn't take too long in the 91-degree heat -- that he could rely on his fastball.
