Dodgers Tie MLB Record With 14th Straight Berth

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 on Monday to secure their 14th consecutive postseason berth, tying the MLB record set by the Atlanta Braves from 1991 to 2005. Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernández hit home runs, while Tarik Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. Los Angeles can soon secure its 13th National League West title in 14 seasons and is pursuing an unprecedented third consecutive World Series championship after winning the 2024 and 2025 titles. The Dodgers’ campaign has been affected by an aging roster and injuries to Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and several pitchers, while additions including Tucker and Skubal and the integration of younger players have helped address late-season health concerns.
