导出博客文章LOS ANGELES -- After losing his no-hit bid with one out to go, Matt Moore just
smiled.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.Giving up a base hit right there is a part of the game, Moore
said. It was a fun ride all the way up until that point ... theres not a lot to
be angry about. I think the smile just kind of came out.Moores try ended on his
133rd pitch. It was Seager Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium, and a sellout
crowd cheered Moore after the ball plopped onto the grass in shallow right
field.Moore was pulled immediately. Giants manager Bruce Bochy had been pacing
in the dugout for a couple of innings as Moores pitch count climbed -- he missed
most of the last two seasons after Tommy John surgery.He was excited to have a
chance at it. He was very grateful and said, `thanks, I appreciate you giving me
a chance, Bochy said. He didnt show any signs of frustration or disappointing
end to give up a hit there. He pitched his heart out.Asked about his emotions in
getting the hit to break up the no-hitter, Seager said: Not much. Its one of
those things where you dont ever want that to happen. Like I said, we won the
series, and youre still happy about that.Giants center fielder Denard Span
sprinted for two outstanding catches, including a leadoff grab in the ninth, to
give Moore a chance.Bochy said he was concerned about Moores pitch count, but
Moore had told him he felt great.He had everything working tonight, Bochy said.
He saved us from getting swept. It was the biggest game all year.Moore earned
his first win for the Giants since they got him in a trade with Tampa Bay on
Aug. 1. The victory moved the Giants within two games of the NL West-leading
Dodgers.The 27-year-old Moore nearly gave San Francisco a major league record
five straight years with a no-hitter. And he almost became the first Giants
pitcher to no-hit the archrival Dodgers since 1915, when New Yorks Rube Marquard
stopped Brooklyn.Moore struck out seven and walked three. Reliever Santiago
Casilla needed just one pitch to get the final out.Moore retired 14 straight
batters at one stretch and is now 1/3 in five starts for the Giants. He was 7-7
with the Rays when they dealt him at the trading deadline for infielder Matt
Duffy and two minor leaguers.This was Moores 99th start in the majors, and his
only previous complete game was a shutout. He came close to doubling that total,
and a lot more.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.Ross
Stripling (3-5) took the loss. 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.The Dodgers won two of three
games and didnt allow the no-hitter, something positive they can take from the
game.I think in some weird way, it does, Roberts said. They really wanted this
game to salvage the series. I think theres a little something that salvages it
for us in a strange way.Obviously, they still got the victory, and well be ready
tomorrow.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.In the
ninth, Span rushed over to grab a sinking liner by Enrique Hernandez. Moore
tipped his cap to the center fielder for the effort.The Giants remain tied with
the Dodgers for the most consecutive years with a no-hitter. Chris Heston threw
one last year for San Francisco, Tim Lincecum did it in 2014 and also 2013 --
with 148 pitches -- and Matt Cain had a perfect game in 2012.The Dodgers threw
them from 1962-65, all by Sandy Koufax.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: Andre Ethier
(broken right tibia) began a rehab assignment at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on
Thursday.UP NEXTGiants: Jeff Samardzija (10-9, 4.17) starts the series opener at
home against the Braves. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the
Mets on Sunday, the longest such bid of his career. Samardzija is 2-2 with a
2.92 ERA in five starts lifetime against Atlanta. Braves starter Joel De La Cruz
(0-6, 4.47) will be face the Giants for the first time.Dodgers: RHP Bud Norris
(6-10, 4.69) will start the series opener against the Cubs. He is 5-5 with a
3.39 ERA in 12 career games vs. Chicago. He has a win against the Cubs when he
was with the Braves earlier this year. The Cubs will start LHP Mike Montgomery
(1-1, 2.77).
