The Los Angeles Dodgers had little trouble as they defeated the New York Mets 9-0 in the first game of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium.

With the shutout on Sunday night, the California team equaled the Baltimore Orioles’ record set in 1966 of 33 consecutive scoreless innings in the MLB playoffs.

This particular record originates from Game 3 (they won 8-0 and 2-0, respectively, in Games 4 and 5) of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres.
