On a day filled with wonderful tributes both at the park and on television for the final day of Vin Scully’s illustrious career, the Dodgers couldn’t match the good tidings on the field. Buoyed by early runs, the Giants cruised to an easy 7-1 win over the Dodgers.
While the Dodgers limp home with five losses in their final six regular season games, the Giants’ sweep was enough to clinch a wild card berth for San Francisco, who will play the Mets on Wednesday night in New York in the National League Wild Card Game.
Kenta Maeda was anything but sharp in his regular season finale, allowing two runs in the first inning then three more in the second.
