The Dodgers had 33 consecutive shutout innings and counting after pitchers Jack Flaherty, Daniel Hudson and Ben Gasparius will beat the New York Mets A 9-0, three-hit shutout in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium matched the Orioles’ 1966 streak for the longest single-season scoreless streak.
Now these Dodgers have won three straight shutouts, starting with Games 4 and 5 of the NLDS against the Padres and continuing into the NLCS opener against the Mets that saw Los Angeles rewrite the record books.
A Mets baserunning error helped Flaherty complete a scoreless fifth inning to start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, giving Dodgers pitchers 29 consecutive scoreless innings. According to Elias, Games 2-5 of the 1905 World Series broke a 119-year-old record set by the New York Giants and set the National League record for a single postseason.
The Dodgers’ scoreless streak reached 30 innings when Los Angeles left fielder Theoscar Hernandez caught the inning and went over the wall down the left field line to end the sixth, the longest streak being held only by the ’66 Orioles. .
