"Vogelsong finishes strong; Wilson done for season

A record-breaking sellout crowd sent off Ryan Vogelsong with a rousing ovation Monday night. But they couldn't deliver a final salute to their bearded wonder in the bullpen.

Vogelsong pitched seven shutout innings in the Giants' 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, capping an out-of-nowhere All-Star season in which his 2.71 ERA led a brilliant starting staff.

Closer Brian Wilson did not pick up the save, though. Manager Bruce Bochy confirmed that Wilson, who had missed a month with an inflamed elbow before making two appearances last week, will be shut down for the season.

"I don't see the point of throwing Brian out there now," Bochy said. "He wants to pitch. It's the old risk-reward adage."

Wilson hustled out of the clubhouse and did not stop when asked for comment, saying, "I'm not going to talk about myself.""
