Dodgers' Dominance in LCS
The Dodgers have taken a strong lead, reminiscent of the 1970 season when the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles took the first two games of the LCS.
As noted by Sarah Langs, this feat has not been seen in 55 years, with the Dodgers and Seattle Mariners achieving something remarkable in postseason play.
The 1970 Cincinnati Reds stormed into Three Rivers Stadium and took the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- The 1970 Baltimore Orioles took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins, scoring 21 runs.
- Both League Championship Series ended in three-game sweeps.
The Orioles went on to win the World Series against the Reds in five games, a gentleman's sweep.
