Los Angeles – The Dodgers capped their 2026 regular season with a milestone 100th victory, beating the San Francisco Giants 5‑1 in a ten‑inning showdown on Sunday. Alex Call delivered a clutch run‑scoring double with two outs in the 10th inning, driving in Miguel Rojas and putting the game out of reach.
Following an intentional walk to Max Muncy, Andy Pages launched a three‑run homer to left field, his 23rd of the year, extending the lead to five runs. The Dodgers’ bullpen combined for 16 strikeouts, with Alex Vesia (3‑1) among the seven pitchers who contributed.
Key performances and season highlights
Shohei Ohtani, back from the injured list after right‑biceps discomfort, went 1‑for‑3 as the designated hitter, adding a double, an RBI, two walks and ten strikeouts to his season totals of 5‑for‑21.
The Dodgers finished the year at 100‑62, improving by seven wins over last season’s 93‑71 record that earned them a second straight World Series title. Their road record of 49‑32 was the best in the majors.
Giants recap
San Francisco, in its first season under manager Tony Vitello, posted a 65‑97 record after a .500 finish (81‑81) last year under Bob Melvin. The Giants’ lone run came on a two‑out single by Scott Bandura in the second inning, driving in Shay Whitcomb for his first major‑league RBI.
Vitello received his seventh ejection of the season in the third inning after a dispute with umpire Ryan Blakney over a checked‑swing call on Mookie Betts.
Looking ahead
Following the regular‑season finale, the Dodgers will open the National League Division Series at home on Saturday, facing the winner of the wild‑card matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves.
The Giants are set to honor longtime broadcaster Mike Krukow, 74, who will call his final game for the team on Sunday after a career that began part‑time in 1990 and full‑time in 1994.
