The scoreless streak didn’t last long in Game 2.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor opened NLCS play on Monday with a leadoff home run, ending the Los Angeles Dodgers’ scoreless postseason streak after 33 innings. It was the first run the Dodgers had allowed since Game 3 of the Division Series six days earlier, and it was Lindor’s first hit since his game-winning grand slam in NLDS Game 4 on Wednesday.

A scoreless first inning would have broken the record, but Lindor had other plans.

Despite a pitching staff decimated by injuries, the Dodgers set a record that stood for 57 years. During the streak, they pitched three shutouts and scored 23 unanswered runs. Their bullpen was responsible for most of those scoreless frames.

“I think we’re all a little proud of this little run here,” Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson said before Monday’s game. “We were supported pretty heavily in the regular season and to see that translate and have success in the playoffs is really cool for all of us and we’re really proud down there.”

The Baltimore Orioles set the record in 1966 when they defeated the Dodgers in the World Series. The Orioles did not allow any runs beyond the third inning of Game 1, extending their scoreless streak to 33 innings when Jim Palmer threw the first of three complete game shutouts, and the Orioles only used four pitchers in the entire series.

Times have changed. The Dodgers set the record in very different ways.

Using twelve different pitchers, including eight in one game, the Dodgers team progressed well despite going more than five innings with only one starting pitcher. And the series started at a low point when they seemed to be on the verge of elimination.

In Game 3 of the NLDS, Dodgers starter Walker Buehler gave up six runs in the second inning. It was enough for the San Diego Padres to win the game, but the Padres didn’t score another goal for the rest of the series. Buehler pitched a clean third inning and the Dodgers’ scoreless streak had begun.

Eight relievers pitched a scoreless bullpen game in NLDS Game 4, Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched five good innings in the deciding Game 5, and Jack Flaherty was dominant with seven scoreless innings in NLCS Game 1, setting a record for consecutive scoreless innings in a postseason. Veteran reliever Ryan Brasier — who served as the opener — came close to breaking the record with a scoreless first inning on Monday.

The streak was perhaps more notable for the pitchers who weren’t involved, as the Dodgers have an entire rotation of pitchers — Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glasnow, Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May and Gavin Stone — who are currently injured and unavailable.
