Moyer wasn't THAT great. The home run he gave up to Branyan tied him with Robin Roberts for the most career home runs given up.
Seriously, though, he had a great game. It's hard to fault the Indians - Talbot bounced back nicely after that last horrific start, Kerry Wood did his job and Branyan did his. Moyer was just "on" and he hasn't lasted 25 years or whatever it's been by sucking.
Maybe it's the Clevelander in me, but I'd count this one as quality loss. We didn't kick the ball all over the infield or lob meatballs across the plate all night, we got beat by a better team and a tough pitcher.
