140 hits allowed in innings pitched. In 1958, the Giants moved to San Francisco; Worthington started the fourth game of the year for the ballclub, then worked out of the bullpen after that. Against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 13, he worked six innings of relief, blowing a 7–6 lead when Gil Hodges hit a home run against him in the third inning but earning the win as the Giants prevailed 16–9. Given a start on June 15, he allowed eight hits but just one unearned run in a 3–1 victory over the Phillies. From that day forth, he was used mainly as a starter until August 6, after which he was exclusively used out of the bullpen for the rest of the year. He held the Pirates to one run over nine innings in the first game of a doubleheader on July 27 but got a no-decision in a 14-inning, 2–1 loss. In 54 games (12 starts), he had an 11–7 record, a 3.63 ERA, 76 strikeouts, 57 walks, and 152 hits allowed in innings. Worthington held out during 1959 spring training hoping for a salary raise, which he was granted, but he was pitching for the Giants again by the time they played their first game. He made starts on August 22 and 27, a day after and the day of a Giants doubleheader, respectively. In the August 22 start, he allowed one run and three hits in six innings, earning the win as the Giants beat the Phillies 8–1. Other than that, except for a June 18 start, he pitched exclusively out of the bullpen. Between June 24 and August 8, he made only three appearances. Discovering in September that the Giants were having an employee steal opposing team's signs, observing them from the grandstands with binoculars and relaying them to the Giants' dugout, he confronted Rigney about the fact. "I told Bill that I had been talking to church groups, telling people you don't have to lie or cheat in this world if you trust Jesus Christ," said Worthington. "How could I go on saying those things if I was winning games because my team was cheating?" Rigney, who had been friends with Worthington since the pitcher's minor league tenure, promised to stop the practice. In 42 games (three starts), Worthington had a 2–3 record, a 3.68 ERA, 45 strikeouts, 37 walks, and 68 hits
