Alex Call hit a run-scoring double with two outs in the 10th inning and Andy Pages added a three-run homer as the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their season with their 100th victory, a 5-1 decision over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday that completed a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n
Call’s double to left-center came off Duncan Davitt (0-1) and scored the placed runner, Miguel Rojas. After an intentional walk to Max Muncy, Pages took Davitt deep to left for his 23rd home run of the season.<\/p>\n
Alex Vesia (3-1) was one of seven L.A. pitchers who combined for 16 strikeouts. The Dodgers won the final eight meetings with the Giants this season.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers\u2019 Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter. After he was reinstated from the injured list (right biceps discomfort) Wednesday, Ohtani went 5-for-21 with a double, an RBI, two walks and 10 strikeouts.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers’ 100-62 record is seven games better than their mark last year when they earned a second straight World Series title.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles finished this season with a 49-32 road mark, the best in the majors.<\/p>\n
In their first season under manager Tony Vitello, the Giants went 65-97. They were 81-81 last year under Bob Melvin. Their home attendance dipped slightly from 2025 (2,925,823) to \u201926 (2,856,810).<\/p>\n
Vitello received his major-league-high seventh ejection this season in the third inning when plate umpire Ryan Blakney tossed Vitello for arguing a checked-swing call on Mookie Betts.<\/p>\n
The Giants got their run in the second inning on a two-out single by Scott Bandura that brought home Shay Whitcomb. It was Bandura’s first major-league RBI.<\/p>\n
After the game, the Giants were scheduled to hold a ceremony to celebrate broadcaster Mike Krukow, who worked his final telecast Sunday. Krukow, 74, began calling Giants games on a part-time basis in 1990 and has been a full-time broadcaster since 1994.<\/p>\n
