Matt Moore's No-Hitter Broken Up With One Out To Go
Matt Moore, who was traded to the Giants earlier this month from the Tampa Bay Rays, took a no-hit bid as close as he possibly could before it got dashed at the last second. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Corey Seager sent a flare into right field on Moore’s 133rd pitch. It landed squarel...

Giants Lose On Walk-Off Balk

Last night, Giants first baseman Brandon Belt launched a home run into the bay just beyond his home ballpark’s right-field fence.
