SAN FRANCISCO -- In the end, the Giants even struggled to play the role of spoiler in the National League West race.
San Francisco absorbed a three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, who rolled to a 15-0 triumph in Sunday's regular-season finale en route to their sixth consecutive postseason appearance.
Giants starter Andrew Suarez, who blanked the Dodgers for six innings Aug. 14 in his lone previous appearance against them, yielded six runs in 2 1/3 innings. Suarez disappeared during a seven-run third inning, which widened the Dodgers' lead to 9-0.
