Vargas’ two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning broke a tie game, and the 5-2 win is the Dodgers’ 108th, extending their franchise record.
SAN DIEGO — It would take constant vigilance to spot Miguel Vargas without a smile creasing his face.
The win added to the Dodgers’ franchise-record total . They completed their road schedule with a 54-27 record and return home to finish the regular season with six games against the Colorado Rockies. When Vargas was promoted from Triple-A in early September, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he would have an opportunity to play his way onto a postseason roster. Those opportunities have been limited even after the Dodgers clinched their division. Thursday was just Vargas’ eighth start this month and he didn’t get this one until Trayce Thompson was scratched from the lineup for personal reasons.
But he managed to do something his more established teammates struggled to do during the series in San Diego – come through with runners in scoring position.
