Dodgers close Giants series with 3-2 victory

Brett Anderson pitched two-hit ball into the eighth inning in his final regular-season start, and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up their road schedule with a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

Anderson (10-9) retired 14 consecutive batters following Kevin Frandsen's one-out single in the third inning before Jarrett Parker singled to start the eighth. The lefty made his 31st start for a career high, topping his 30 outings in 2009 as a rookie with Oakland. Healthy for the season again, he also reached a high for innings with 180 1/3.

Just three balls left the infield against Anderson and no San Francisco runner reached second base until an eighth-inning throwing error by second baseman Howie Kendrick.
