Vogelsong will start Game 4 of the World Series against the Royals next Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News reports. The Cardinals knocked Vogelsong around to the tune of four earned runs over three innings in Game 4 of the NLCS, but Yusmeiro Petit kept the Giants in it with three shutout innings and ultimately earned the win. Manager Bruce Bochy will stick with the same rotation in the World Series, with the mindset that Petit is more valuable as a long man out of the bullpen.

Vogelsong will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Cardinals on Wednesday, Bay Area News Group reports. Vogelsong had a strong showing in his NLDS start against the Nationals, allowing just two hits and one earned run with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings. He last faced the Cardinals in July, when he took the loss despite allowing only two earned runs over 7.0 innings.

Vogelsong would start for the Giants in a potential Game 4 against the Nationals, the San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea reports. The Giants will look to sweep Washington in the NLDS Monday with Madison Bumgarner on the hill, but Vogelsong would pitch Tuesday if necessary.

Vogelsong (8-13) gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits over 5.1 innings pitched against the Padres on Friday night while taking the loss. You never want to back into the playoffs as the Giants have this season, so winning games is key right now; however, Vogelsong did not have his best stuff on Friday as he gave up a chunk of runs in the sixth to Padres hitters. Vogelsong ends the regular season with a 4.00 ERA and may not see a start in the playoffs.

Vogelsong allowed two earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings in the Giants' 8-2 loss to the Padres on Sunday. Vogelsong has been extremely up-and-down in September, allowing as much as eight runs and as few as none. The one walk was promising, as he allowed 11 in the previous three games. He'll be back on the mound Friday against the same team.

Vogelsong allowed four runs on six hits with four walks and five strikeouts Monday in a loss to the Diamondbacks. All of the damage was done by a Mark Trumbo grand slam in the third innings. It was the first grand slam allowed by Vogelsong in his career spanning 230 appearances. The right-hander will take the hill Sunday versus a weak San Diego lineup.

Vogelsong threw a two-hitter over 6.2 innings in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday while walking five and striking out three. Vogelsong recovered from a 30-pitch second inning where he stranded the bases loaded, to retire 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. The right-hander has earned a reputation as a batter and that was on display Wednesday night for the Giants who are in a pennant race with the rival Dodgers. Vogelsong will face the Diamondback on the road in his next turn.

Vogelsong gave up eight runs on 10 hits -- including four home runs -- over five innings in his start against the Rockies on Wednesday. Not surprisingly, Vogelsong was roughed up at Coors in a difficult road matchup. Even in less challenging road environments, Vogelsong has scuffled this season. Prior to the meltdown Wednesday, Vogelsong carried a 4.43 road ERA this season. He'll look to turn things around at home against the D-backs on September 10.

Vogelsong struck out seven and walked one while holding the Brewers to two runs on four hits over seven innings in a winning effort Friday night. The victory was the eighth of the season for the veteran right-hander, and he certainly benefited from 13 runs of support over the first five innings Friday night. Vogelsong will face the Rockies on Wednesday at Coors Field in his next start.

Vogelsong allowed three runs on four hits and four walks over 5.1 innings Sunday against the Nationals. Vogelsong received a no decision despite leaving the game with the lead. His bullpen didn't do him any favors, allowing 11 runs over the remaining 2.2 innings they pitched. The outing leaves his ERA at 3.78 for the season, a number he will look to improve on when he next takes the mound against the Brewers on Friday.
