Not only have they tied the record previously held by the Baltimore Orioles, who threw 33 straight scoreless innings in the 1966 World Series, the Dodgers have set the record for the most consecutive scoreless frames in National League postseason history.Jack Flaherty toed the rubber on Sunday night, throwing seven scoreless innings with with strikeouts. He passed the baton to Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius who handled the final two innings of the contest.
