MLB postseason Los Angeles Dodgers playoff record baseball

The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured their 14th consecutive MLB postseason appearance, tying the all-time record set by the Atlanta Braves between 1991 and 2005. The milestone was achieved following a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.

Pitcher Tarik Skubal delivered a dominant performance, pitching seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts to earn his 10th win of the season. Offensive support came from home runs by Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernández, while Enrique Hernández added an RBI single to seal the win.

With this victory, the Dodgers have reduced their division magic number to three as they pursue their fifth consecutive National League West title. The team is also aiming to become the first MLB franchise since the New York Yankees (1998-2000) to win three consecutive World Series titles.
