Moret was a member of the 1975 American League champion Red Sox. After winning 14 of 17 decisions during the regular season in 36 games (including 16 starts), he appeared in four postseason contests. In the ALCS, he was the winning pitcher in relief of Reggie Cleveland in Game 2 against the Oakland Athletics, hurling a scoreless sixth inning and earning the victory when Boston broke a 3–3 tie in their half of the frame. Then, in the 1975 World Series, Moret worked in three games, including the legendary Game 6. He held the Cincinnati Reds scoreless in 1​2⁄3 innings pitched, although he allowed two hits and three bases on balls, one of those intentional.\n', '

His career ended in 1978 in bizarre fashion. Scheduled to be the starting pitcher against the Detroit Tigers on April 12, Moret was spotted in the Ranger locker room in a catatonic state, with his arm extended holding a slipper. He was unresponsive to examiners, and was immediately taken to a psychiatric facility and placed on the disabled list. He appeared in only six more games after the bizarre incident.\n', '
