--INF Kevin Frandsen had his only at-bat of the season and grounded out to shortstop. He had a season-long rehab from Achilles tendon surgery in spring training and is a candidate to be the Opening Day second baseman in 2009.
--INF/C Pablo Sandoval didn't start again because of a left quadriceps injury but hit a pinch single to help the Giants beat the Dodgers. Sandoval finished his first big-league season with a .345 average, and he's expected to be an everyday player in 2009. --1B J.T. Snow, 40, signed a one-day contract Saturday, and he returned to the field so he could retire as a Giant. Snow was in the lineup, in the fifth spot, took the field and threw grounders to the infielders. But he was replaced by 1B Travis Ishikawa before the first pitch and was given hugs by teammates and a big hand by Giants fans. Snow's last previous major league action was for the Red Sox in 2006. During batting practice on Saturday, he hit a home run.
--RHP Matt Cain remains winless against the Dodgers. On Saturday, he made his 11th career start and sixth of the season against Los Angeles and gave up two earned runs in seven innings during a 2-1 loss. Against the Dodgers this year, he went 0-3 with a 2.79 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings.
--SS Omar Vizquel became the 10th player -- and only full-time shortstop -- in history to be involved in 1,700 double plays. Ernie Banks is No. 7 on the list, but he played more games at first base than shortstop. Vizquel hit .222 this year, but he batted .328 in his last 22 starts.
BY THE NUMBERS: 2.68 million -- The Giants' season attendance, the first time since moving into their new park in 2000 that they failed to draw 3 million.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think when fans think back to this year, they'll think back to the year Timmy had. People forget this was his first full season. I don't know if it's fair or not, but expectations for him will always be high." -- INF Rich Aurilia, on RHP Tim Lincecum.
