The Dodgers opened their National League Championship Series against the Mets this week with a flattering score, while Los Angeles shut out New York with a 9-0 victory.
The Dodgers kicked off their National League Championship Series on Sunday night with a resounding win against the Mets, shutting out New York with a dominant first win.
There’s still a long way to go for the Dodgers before the World Series, but winning the first game in such a convincing manor is enough to give Los Angeles fans plenty of hope going deep into the postseason.
Jack Flaherty led the way for the hosts on Sunday, with the pitcher continuing his impressive playoff form after another seven scoreless innings.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Flaherty said. “You can’t put everything into words. But the most important part was coming out and setting the tone.”
Setting the tone is exactly what the Dodgers did in game one, when they tied the game MLB playoff record for 33 consecutive scoreless innings, breaking the Orioles’ previous best record set during the 1996 World Series.

“I can look at it and say we did a good job today,” Flaherty continued. “It’s a really good team over there, and we played a good game, but we have to come back tomorrow and keep our foot on the pedal, not give up at all.”
On the other hand, there were no home runs in the first game, but Shohei Ohtani and Enrique Hernandez led the way for the Dodgers with two runs each.
There’s no time to rest for the Dodgers after their first Championship Series win, with game two coming Monday afternoon as the busy postseason schedule continues.
