Statistically, Matt Moore was as good as he has ever been Saturday
Richie Shaffer is not the only hitting prospect to be getting some work at new positions. Patrick Leonard played his second career game in right field Saturday.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (63-66)
Matt Moore struck out a career-high 16 batters in Durham's 5-2 win over Columbus. Moore recorded his first eight outs via the strikeout, and that would have tied Moore's season high on its own, but he continued rolling. After striking out two in the six, he allowed a single and home run that gave the Clippers a 2-1 lead, but he finished his outing with another punchout.
