Moore Loses No-hitter With 2 Outs In 9th, Giants Top Dodgers

Moore loses no-hitter with 2 outs in 9th, Giants top Dodgers The San Francisco lefty gave up a soft, clean single to Corey Seager with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 Thursday night. Giants manager Bruce Bochy had been pacing in the dugout for a couple of innings as Moore's pitch count climbed — he missed most of the last two seasons after Tommy John surgery. Giants center fielder Denard Span sprinted for two outstanding catches, including a leadoff grab in the ninth, to give Moore a chance. [...] he almost became the first Giants pitcher to no-hit the archrival Dodgers since 1915, when New York's Rube Marquard stopped Brooklyn. Moore retired 14 straight batters at one stretch and is now 1-3 in five starts for the Giants. Reigning NL Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta of the Cubs remains the only pitcher with a no-hitter this year, doing it at Cincinnati in April. In his major league debut earlier this year, he held the Giants hitless for 7 1/3 innings in San Francisco, but then manager Dave Roberts relieved him because of a pitch count. Joe Panik hit a two-run homer for a 3-0 lead in the fourth. Span ran a long way into the left-center field gap in the second inning, reaching below his knee to catch a slicing drive by Adrian Gonzalez near the warning track.
