Heading into Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers are three scoreless outs away from setting an MLB record.

As of Monday, the Dodgers have thrown 33 consecutive scoreless innings — an NL postseason record, tying the 1966 Baltimore Orioles for the MLB record. One more scoreless inning against the New York Mets, and Los Angeles would get the win on their own.

“Certainly, the players involved in all those scoreless innings were fantastic, and I think defensively we were very good at converting outs when we needed to,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the 9-0 victory of the team in Game. 1 of the NLCS on Sunday.

“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’re preventing runs is a complete team effort.”

After giving up six runs in the bottom of the second inning to the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of the NL Divisional Series, twelve Los Angeles pitchers have combined to throw 33 shutout innings. The stingy effort allowed the Dodgers to come back from a 2-1 hole against the Padres, shutting them out in the final two games of the series before doing the same against the Mets on Sunday.

In addition to becoming one of only three teams to throw three consecutive postseason shutouts, the Los Angeles pitchers also combined to throw a perfect game within the streak. From Game 5 of the NLDS through the third inning of Game 1 of the NLCS, the Dodgers retired 28 batters in a row. (New York shortstop Francisco Lindor broke the streak with a walk in the top of the fourth.)

The streak has quieted two of the loudest offenses of the regular season thus far. San Diego led all MLB teams with a .263 batting average in 2024. The Padres and Mets ranked sixth and ninth in OPS, respectively. They were also seventh and eighth in runs scored.

Los Angeles has done all this amid injuries to a significant portion of its pitching staff.

All-Star starter Tyler Glasnow has been out since August. Gavin Stone, who led the team at the start during the regular season, was sidelined in September and has since undergone shoulder surgery. Longtime starter Clayton Kershaw has an injured toe. Joe Kelly, a member of the 2020 World Series team, is out. And while he has hit, Shohei Ohtani is not pitching as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
