LOS ANGELES – Four days ago, the Dodgers were eliminated and were staring down the barrel of a third straight Division Series loss as the better seed. Then they simply stopped allowing runs, putting them in the driver’s seat in the National League play-offs.

A bullpen match shut out the Padres in Game 4 in San Diego, then Yoshinobu Yamamoto and friends rolled more outs in the decisive NLDS Game 5 at home. On Sunday, Jack Flaherty led the way with the longest start by a Dodger in the playoffs in three years. That’s three shutouts in a row, something that has only been done twice before in MLB postseason history.

Unsurprisingly, these are also part of the three longest winless streaks in history:

• 2024 Dodgers: 33 straight scoreless innings
• 1966 Orioles: 33 innings
• 1905 Giants: 28 innings

Baltimore faced the Dodgers in 1966, then the reigning champions who won their third pennant in four years. In Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, Jim Lefebvre homered off Dave McNally in the second inning. In the third inning, three walks forced McNally out of the game, followed one out later by another walk from Jim Gilliam, producing a run that made the Dodgers 4–2.

They never scored again, not for the final six innings of Game 1, not against 20-year-old Jim Palmer in Game 2, not against Wally Bunker in Game 3, nor against McNally in Game 4 to complete a stunning sweep .

The 1905 World Series was not the Bay Bridge Series, even though it involved the Giants and A’s, only they represented New York and Philadelphia at the time. This was the dead ball era and all five games of this World Series were shutouts. New York was on the losing side in Game 2, but the Giants ended that game with a scoreless ninth inning.

Christy Mathewson pitched a shutout in Game 3, three days after his shutout in Game 1. Then again in Game 5, on only one rest dayMathewson pitched another shutout and captured the title for the Giants. Joe McGinnity pitched a shutout in Game 4, avenging his guts for allowing three entire runs three days earlier.

The Orioles streak featured only four pitchers in total. The Giants series only had two.

This Dodgers series has a dozen contributors so far and has gone 33 straight innings.

“I think it’s just a collective effort,” manager Dave Roberts said Sunday. “We have been very good defensively and have converted zero when necessary. I think the coaches have done a great job of communicating the information and making it tangible, allowing our pitchers and catchers to do a great job of catching the ball the right way.

“And the front office, just the information we get. I just think the way we prevent runs is a complete team effort, a collective effort.”

The streak started Tuesday with the final three innings of Walker Buehler’s start in Game 3. It ended Sunday when Ben Casparius pitched a perfect ninth inning against the Mets. Here are all the Dodgers pitchers who contributed to the Dodgers’ 33 scoreless innings:

• Flaherty: 7 IP
• Yamamoto 5IP
• Bühler 3 IP
• Evan Phillips 3 IP
• Michael Kopech 3 IP
• Daniel Hudson 2⅔IP
• Blake Treinen 2 IP
• Alex Vesia 2IP
• Anthony Banda 2 IP
• Ryan Brasier 1⅓ IP
• Landon Knack 1 IP
• Casparius 1IP

This group allowed 14 hits and seven walks over the 33 scoreless innings, while striking out 27 more.

Brasier will be the first Dodgers pitcher of their bullpen game on Monday afternoon (1:08 p.m., Fox and FS1), with a chance to separate themselves from the Orioles and have the longest scoreless streak all to themselves.
