Jamie Moyer took his first road defeat Saturday at San Francisco and was done after four innings, his second-shortest outing of the season after going just 3 2/3 innings in his first start. "It took me until the fourth inning to pick up my tempo," Moyer said. "I'm upset with myself. I had a good bullpen, but didn't maintain it." Moyer allowed six earned runs off nine hits and a walk. He surrendered two home runs and struck out just one batter. (Updated 05/10/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Moyer's ERA ballooned over 5.00 with the bad outing. He was coming off a win at Arizona in which he pitched seven innings and had turned in a quality outing in six straight. Moyer is not a spectacular pitcher by any stretch of the imagination, but he is an innings eater and worth using in NL-only Fantasy leagues. His next start is slated for May 16 against Toronto.
