Moore was acquired in a trade with the Rays in 2016. Less than a month after joining the Giants, he came within one out of a no-hitter against the Dodgers.
Overall, Moore’s record with San Francisco is 12-20 and he has pitched to a 5.12 ERA. He led the NL in losses (15) and earned runs (107) last season.
