Dodgers 27 Outs Away From Tying Franchise History

When the final out was recorded in Wednesday night’s exciting 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers did something that they had done only twice before in their 139-year franchise history – they won their 10th consecutive game, which they also did during the 2017 season.

But the 2017 Dodgers did not win their next game, which would have tied the 11 consecutive wins record set by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945.

That was 77 years ago.

In other words, should the Dodgers beat the American League Central fourth-place Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Friday night, they will become only the second team in Dodgers franchise history to win 11 consecutive games.

Don’t stop there, boys.

Play Ball!

    10-6…? What game was that? And their record for the franchise is 15… it’s even 13 (done twice) since moving to LA…
