Matt Moore, moved from Tampa Bay to San Francisco for the stretch drive, notched a near no-no yesterday. Photo by Keith Allison<\/a> Yesterday, August 25, Matt Moore<\/strong><\/span> picked up his first win since his trade to the San Francisco Giants – giving up just one hit (a single to Dodgers’ shortstop Corey Seager) in \u00a08 2\/3 innings (no runs, one hit, three walks, seven strikeouts.)<\/p>\n Despite the masterful performance and the 4-0 \u00a0win over the rival Dodgers, there was a tinge of disappointment to the game. \u00a0You see, Seager’s hit (on Corey Seager Bobblehead Night) came with two-outs in the bottom of the ninth – spoiling Moore’s no hit bid.<\/p>\n Losing a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth is truly disappointing, but what about the ultimate let-down – losing a perfect game with two outs in the ninth? Appropriately, this has occured fouteen times in MLB history. \u00a0To read the stories of those “oh-so-close-to-perfection” outings click here.<\/a><\/p>\n Member: Society for American Baseball Research (SABR); The Baseball Reliquary; Baseball Bloggers Alliance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, August 25, Matt Moore picked up his first win since his trade to the San Francisco Giants – giving up just one hit (a single to Dodgers’ shortstop Corey Seager) in \u00a08 2\/3 innings (no runs, one hit, three walks, seven strikeouts.)
