Giants need Matt Moore to start producing

SAN DIEGO — The next chapter in Matt Moore’s career with the Giants will begin Monday with the opening of a 10-game homestand.

Moore will be pitching on eight days’ rest after lasting just 31/3 innings his last start, giving up a career-high-matching 12 hits. He came up big in key games after the Giants snagged him at last year’s trade deadline for Matt Duffy, but he has a 6.04 ERA this year.

The Giants, who acquired the lefty knowing he had a team-friendly contract through 2019, are hoping for a second-half turnaround and momentum heading into next season.
