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.
