Vogey will be making his 5th post-season start tonight. The righty made 5 starts in the Giants 2012 World Series run, going 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA. The Giants won all 4 of those games, making Vogelsong the second Giants pitcher to start his career with four, consecutive team wins in his post-season starts.
The first was Christy Mathewson from 1905 – 1911.

Ryan Vogelsong, nicknamed “Vogey,” is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. In addition to an earlier stint with the Giants, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and for the Nippon Professional Baseball League’s Hanshin Tigers and Orix Buffaloes. His career was revitalized as he established himself as a dominant force in the fifth spot in the Giants 2011 rotation after Barry Zito got hurt. He made the 2011 All-Star team, and in 2012 posted a streak of 16 consecutive quality starts, allowing three earned runs or fewer in at least six innings each game.
