The Dodgers' dream of perfection is halted by Lindor's mighty swing! Read on to catch all the thrilling highlights from the NLCS!

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the postseason with a remarkable streak, having pitched 33 straight scoreless innings. This impressive feat had the baseball world buzzing, and every fan was eager to see whether they could break the longstanding record set by the legendary 1966 Baltimore Orioles. However, fate had other plans when the New York Mets faced off against the Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Mets’ sluggers Francisco Lindor and Mark Vientos had other ideas and knocked the Dodgers off their pedestal.

In the first inning of their matchup, Lindor hit a leadoff home run, preventing the Dodgers from making history as they aimed to eclipse the Orioles’ scoreless innings record. This moment was pivotal, as not only did it excite the crowd, but it also shifted the momentum in favor of the Mets. Dodger fans who were hoping to bask in glorious baseball history were left gasping, as the Mets quickly made their presence known and dominated the game.

As the Dodgers struggled to maintain their stellar pitching performance, Game 2 proved to be a real test. Manager Dave Roberts attempted various bullpen strategies, but nothing seemed to rattle the Mets' offensive momentum. By the end of the game, the Dodgers fell to the Mets, resulting in a 7-3 loss and leaving fans to ponder what could have been just days before. Despite setting a new standard for scoreless innings, this matchup reminded everyone that in baseball, anything can happen.

Moreover, this loss brought to light a significant aspect of the Dodgers' pitching rotation, which had been reeling from injuries throughout the season. Star pitcher Clayton Kershaw made headlines by announcing his plans to return for the 2025 season, but fans are left wondering if he’ll get to experience a healthier postseason run next time around. In an interesting twist, despite their disappointment in Game 2, the Dodgers still have a prime opportunity to bounce back, with the series ahead of them.

In other light-hearted baseball trivia, did you know that the longest recorded scoreless innings streak in MLB history belongs to the 1903 New York Giants with 58 consecutive scoreless innings? Additionally, the Baltimore Orioles boast several Hall of Famers from their legendary pitching staff, making the Dodgers' plight all the more fascinating.
