The Los Angeles Dodgers closed out the regular season on a seven-game winning streak and with that made franchise history by reaching 106 wins. It broke the record held by the 1953 Brooklyn team that won 105 games; the previous L.A. franchise record was 104, set in 2017.
That season the Dodgers were propelled by a historic 43-7 stretch. This year’s team never won more than seven games in a row; doing so from May 29-June 4 and Sept. 22-29. Their strong finish to the season was despite being without Justin Turner for the final five games.
He experienced back tightness during the San Diego Padres series and after initially being expected to return over the weekend, was ultimately ruled out.
