During the regular season, Moreno recorded just seven home runs, as he was mainly known for his ability to place the ball perfectly into the outfield.
Unfortunately, about a half hour after his homer in Game 3 of the NLDS, Moreno was forced to exit the game with a right-hand contusion.
The Diamondbacks traded for Gabriel Moreno back in December. It is pretty easy to say that this trade has worked out greatly in their favor.
