MLB playoffs: Dodgers tie postseason record to beat Mets in NLCS Game 1

• Dodgers have 33 consecutive shutout innings
• New York Mets 0-9 Los Angeles Dodgers

Jack Flaherty combined on a three-hitter and Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers tied the postseason record of 33 consecutive scoreless innings as they routed the New York Mets 9-0 on Sunday night in the NL Championship Series opener.

Los Angeles knocked out a wild Kodai Senga in the second inning, built a six-run lead by the fourth and matched the scoreless record set by Baltimore Orioles pitchers over the first four games of the 1966 World Series against the Dodgers.
