A quiet toast as the Dodgers clinch record-tying 14th straight playoff spot
The Los Angeles Dodgers marked their record-tying 14th consecutive trip to MLB’s postseason with a toast of bubbly after a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The two-time defending World Series champions — who joined Milwaukee and Tampa Bay as teams who have secured playoff spots — cut their magic number to three for a fifth straight NL West title and 13th in 14 seasons. Los Angeles tied the Atlanta Braves’ postseason run from 1991 through 2005.
The Braves made five World Series trips during that span, but only won once in 1995.
