Paul Richard Moskau (born December 20, 1953) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who pitched for the Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs. He debuted on June 21, 1977, starting against the Philadelphia Phillies and hitting a home run. He was not involved in the decision, however, as the Reds won 10–5.[1] His first major league win came on July 15, 1977, in an 8–3 win over the Houston Astros.[2]
He was acquired by the Baltimore Orioles on February 10, 1982 in a transaction that was completed five days later when the Reds received Wayne Krenchicki.[3][4] But he was quickly selected off waivers by the Pirates and he never appeared in a game for the Orioles. After posting a 4.37 earned run average, he was released by the Pirates on October 4, 1982.[5] He was picked up by the Chicago Cubs who released him near the end of the next season.
