Matt Moore made his San Francisco Giants debut today with impressive results—for the most part. Moore held the Philadelphia Phillies to two runs on three hits over six innings, giving the Giants one of the better starts this month.
Some might dismiss the nice numbers for having come against the Phillies. Yes, Philly are among the National League’s bottom-three run scoring teams. But they’re plenty talented, as we’ve seen the past couple days. The other reason to come away from today’s game not fully impressed by Moore is that, while he allowed just three hits, he walked six.
