How to shut off screen?

[Android Central Question]

I keep my phone in my shirt pocket. I always turn my screen off when I finish using my phone. Yet frequently when I look at the phone in my pocket the screen is on. I also get lots of pocket calls or find that the phone is in the process of dialing. It also uses up my battery. I would prefer that my screen stays off when not in use.
The phone is a Pixel 2xl
