Dodgers Make History In 3-Game Sweep Over Mets

In completing a three-game sweep over the New York Mets at Citi Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers simultaneously improved to a season-best six games over .500 while making some history along the way at the expense of their opponent.

The Dodgers’ victory on Sunday was their 12th consecutive against the Mets, dating back to May 28, 2016. Per STATS, it’s their longest win streak over any one opponent since they defeated the San Diego Padres in 16 straight games from Sept. 9, 1973 through Sept. 20, 1974.

For the Mets, their 12 consecutive losses to the Dodgers is tied for the longest streak against one team in franchise history. New York previously lost 12 in a row to the Milwaukee Braves from 1962-63.

Moreover, the Dodgers became just the fifth team in Major League history to hit seven solo home runs in one game. It’s also the fifth time in club history where they amassed seven homers in one contest.

The Dodgers additionally became just the second team slug seven home runs on the road, joining the Atlanta Braves, who accomplished the feat on May 28, 2006 at Wrigley Field.

The Dodgers received two home runs apiece from Cody Bellinger and Kiké Hernandez, as well as one from Max Muncy, Joc Pederson and Justin Turner.

Turner was relieved to end the series on a high note after delivering the go-ahead solo shot in the 11th inning against his former Mets team.

The Dodgers and Mets next face off for a three-game series at Dodger Stadium in early September, where Los Angeles will attempt to increase their winning streak over New York to an astronomical 15 games.
