Giants’ Matt Moore gets hitting advice from Madison Bumgarner

Giants pitcher Matt Moore got some nuanced advice from future hitting coach Madison Bumgarner.

Moore is beginning his first full season in the National League, which means his first year as a regular hitter.

The left-hander had only nine plate appearances in interleague games over his first five seasons in the majors.

Moore also singled in Game 4 of the Division Series against the Cubs, driving in a run, and had four sacrifice bunts in the regular season.

Moore is not sure when he will hit in a game, and was not ready to ask manager Bruce Bochy to get him to the plate, but the pitchers have accelerated their cage work.

For me it kind of renews your passion for the sport (after) just being a pitching machine and not even having a helmet or a bat.

Bumgarner started for the second time this spring and again allowed two runs, this time in two innings on a windy day against the Padres.

Center fielder Gorkys Hernandez, showing why he has the upper hand in the backup outfield competition, ran down and nearly caught a Jose Pirela drive to center that kept carrying in the wind.

Bochy said he hopes Eduardo Nuñez (right shoulder tightness) plays his first game at third base late this week. ...

Aaron Hill will start at third Wednesday and Jimmy Rollins will play second base in the home half of Thursday’s split squad. ...

The Padres broke a 5-5 tie with an unearned run against Hunter Strickland in the sixth.

Chris Marrero drove in two runs in the third inning with a drive off the center-field wall but had to stop at first with a single when he tripped on the bag. ...
