Dodgers Tie MLB Record With 14th Straight Playoff Berth

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their 14th consecutive playoff berth with a 4-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. The victory tied the MLB record set by Atlanta from 1991 through 2005. Tarik Skubal delivered seven shutout innings while Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernandez each hit home runs to lead the charge.

The two-time defending World Series champions cut their magic number to three for a fifth straight NL West title. Los Angeles became the third team assured of a playoff spot after Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. Skubal, who is 10-7 with a 2.52 ERA since being acquired from Detroit, allowed just three hits while striking out nine. djcc.club
