Someday, when Matt Duffy admires the framed box score from his major-league debut, his gaze will shift from his hit and RBI to the bottom of the page and he will say, "Really, I played in a game that was over in 2 hours, 6 minutes?" Yet it was the second-oldest active Giant, Ryan Vogelsong, who did the most to spark the team in the first of 10 straight road games. [...] he had not thrown a single ninth-inning pitch in the majors before Friday. Catcher Buster Posey, noting that Vogelsong scored from first on Hunter Pence's two-run triple in the seventh inning, said, "As old as he is, that took a lot out of him." Vogelsong did not allow a hit until Juan Lagares' leadoff single in the sixth and had a shutout until Lucas Duda homered to start the eighth. Sabean insisted the four roster moves did not signal any resignation about the Giants' chances of winning the National League West this year. Sabean said Duffy has a base hit bat, and a rival evaluator agreed, saying, Competitive hitter, gaps type, reliable infielder.
