Dodgers Tie Record With 14th Straight Playoff Berth

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their record-tying 14th consecutive playoff berth with a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

Behind Tarik Skubal's seven shutout innings and home runs from Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernandez, the Dodgers tied the record set by Atlanta from 1991-2005. Skubal (10-7) allowed just three hits while striking out nine, and Los Angeles became the third team to secure a playoff spot following Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. asg-reflektory.pl

Tucker's third homer in five games led off the second inning, while Hernandez connected in the fourth. Cincinnati's Elly de la Cruz countered with a 457-foot homer in the ninth, the longest of the season for the Reds.
