On May 4, 2009, one day after they set a franchise record for the best home winning streak to begin a season, the Los Angeles Dodgers broke a longstanding National League record by defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-2, en route to their 11th consecutive victory at Dodger Stadium.
The club’s 11-0 start surpassed the NL mark shared by the 1918 San Francisco Giants, 1970 Chicago Cubs, and 1983 Atlanta Braves.
L.A. jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over Arizona in the bottom of the first, courtesy of back-to-back home runs by Manny Ramirez and Andre Ethier.
