Dodgers manager Joe Torre went into this one hoping to get the 42-year-old Mad Dog a win - and DeWitt came through. The win moved Maddux past Roger Clemens into sole possession of eighth place on the career list. Maddux won for only the second time in his last eight starts.

Maddux faced San Francisco for the second straight outing, having allowed seven runs on nine hits in five innings of a 7-1 loss Sept. 19 at Dodger Stadium. A four-time Cy Young Award winner, Maddux improved to 4-8 in 16 road starts this year.

Randy Winn tied the game in the fourth with a solo shot and his first career homer off Maddux. Winn was Maddux's lone baserunner until Omar Vizquel singled to start the sixth.

Both dugouts emptied after Casey Blake struck out against San Francisco's Billy Sadler to end the eighth. Blake and Matt Kemp, aboard on a two-out triple, jawed at Sadler as the reliever walked off the field, prompting Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti to run out. He yelled at Kemp but was held back by a member of the umpire crew.

Los Angeles slugger Manny Ramirez played 4 1/2 innings before taking a seat and is expected to rest Sunday's series finale. Jeff Kent, coming off arthroscopic left knee surgery Sept. 2, also came out when Ramirez did.

Chad Billingsley, the Dodgers' Game 2 playoff starter, pitched two scoreless innings of relief and Takashi Saito worked the ninth for his 18th save in 21 opportunities.

Matt Cain (8-14) wound up winless in his final eight starts, going 0-5 during that span. He didn't win again after a 5-1 victory at Atlanta on Sept. 15. Cain was a 13-game winner in his rookie season of 2006 but has won only 15 games in the last two seasons.

Giants All-Star Tim Lincecum (17-5, 2.66 ERA) will make his final start of the year Sunday, still hoping to win the NL Cy Young Award.

San Francisco signed first baseman J.T. Snow to a one-day contract so he could retire as a Giant, even though he actually retired in December 2006 after spending part of that year with the Boston Red Sox. Snow played nine seasons with the Giants from 1997-2005.

He took part in pregame warmups and batting practice, then took the field alone ahead of his teammates and threw a couple of balls that the other players bounced back to him. Snow then came off the field to a standing ovation and tipped his cap and waved, replaced by Travis Ishikawa.

General manager Brian Sabean wasn't there to see the six-time Gold Glover honored. He and wife, Amanda, welcomed a son earlier in the day.

Notes: As he has done in the past in New York, Torre will let one of his veteran players manage Sunday's season finale - perhaps pinch-hit specialist Mark Sweeney. That means making mound visits and writing the lineup. And will Torre second-guess any questionable decisions? "Probably," he said with a smile. "That's half the fun." ... Bengie Molina still couldn't believe he'd hit a two-run homer that he earned thanks to an instant-replay reversal - and he didn't even have to run the bases because Emmanuel Burriss had entered as a pinch-runner before the umpires went to replay Friday night. "That was amazing. That was the weirdest play I've been involved in," Molina said. "This one went in my favor. The replay did its thing." ... Vizquel, the Giants' 11-time Gold Glove SS, turned his 1,700th double play in the sixth.
