SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong chimed in with the farewells issued Thursday by Jeremy Affeldt, who announced his retirement, and Tim Hudson, who made his final career start.
Unlike Affeldt and Hudson, Vogelsong has no intention of quitting baseball yet. But his performance in the Giants' 3-2 loss to the Dodgers may have been his last in a San Francisco uniform, since he's eligible for free agency once the season ends.
If this was indeed Vogelsong's Giants finale, he propelled himself nicely into the open market. He yielded just one hit in four shutout innings, walking none and striking out six.
