LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers were down to their final out with Matt Moore on the verge of throwing the Giants first no-hitter against them in more than 100 years.Corey Seager spoiled the attempt with a bloop single to right with two outs in the ninth in Los Angeles 4-0 loss to San Francisco.Seagers hit sent the sellout crowd of 53,297 into a raucous celebration. That clutch hit came on his bobblehead night. And Moores try ended on his 133rd pitch.Asked about his emotions of the hit, 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.Moore just smiled after Seagers hit.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.It was a difficult and emotional day for the Dodgers as beloved teammate and backup catcher A.J. Ellis was traded to the Phillies earlier in the day.Ellis said he and Kershaw cried.To have been the longest tenured Dodgers was something Im extremely proud of, to have that gone now in the blink of an eye, without much time to feel finality to it, it rips your heart out, Ellis said.Moore retired 14 consecutive Dodger batters in one stretch. He struck out seven, walked three and gave up one hit in 8 2/3 innings. Seager and Yasmani Grandal both drew walks -- Grandal with two -- but the usually explosive Dodger offense was silent.I think it was just something where hes developing his cut fastball that he was using to lefties and righties which he just started throwing this year, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Moore. Actually, in the last couple of months. Changeup was good, and fastball command better than weve seen it.Had the Giants lost, they wouldve been swept by the Dodgers and fallen another game back. Instead, the Giants moved within two games of the Dodgers in the NL West.He had everything working tonight, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He saved us from getting swept. It was the biggest game all year.The Dodgers will move on with a new backup catcher in Carlos Ruiz from the Phillies. Hell join former Philadelphia teammate Chase Utley, whom he won the World Series with in 2008.Thats hard, Seager said. Youre losing a teammate, losing a friend. Hes been here a long time. Done a lot for this organization. Kind of next guy up. Were looking forward to Ruiz getting here and seeing what he can do.Ross Stripling allowed three earned runs on seven hits in five innings.I felt sharp, Stripling said. I was making some good pitches. Like I said, they had some good (at-bats). I think they had a hit every inning. Able to work out of a leadoff double in the second. Able to make some pitches when I needed to, but at the end of the day, Matt Moore, got to tip your hat to him.
