The Dodgers have requested plenty of their relievers over the past two weeks, and to date they’ve been as much as the duty. The bullpen lined the final 4 innings of Saturday’s win in Milwaukee with out giving up a run, and have now pitched 36 scoreless innings in a row, breaking the fashionable franchise record.
The earlier longest scoreless streak within the trendy period (since 1901) by Dodgers relievers got here from April 17-27, 1998, when the bullpen pitched 33 innings in a row with out permitting a run. Frank Lankford allowed the runs straight earlier than and after that streak, and contributed 4 scoreless frames throughout. Darren Dreifort (7 1/3 innings) and Brad Clontz (7 innings) had been the heavy lifters through the 1998 streak, which additionally included Antonio Osuna, Mark Guthrie, Scott Radinsky, and Jim Bruske, an attractive concoction of remembering some guys.

Seven complete relievers pitched within the 1998 scoreless streak. In the 2026 streak, a dozen totally different pitchers have put up zeroes, a part of heavy roster turnover the last two weeks because the Dodgers lined for dropping Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Jack Dreyer.
May 12 was the final time the Dodgers bullpen allowed a run, when the San Francisco Giants scored as soon as within the seventh inning. Edgardo Henriquez and Dreyer completed out that sport with scoreless frames, adopted by 10 video games in a row by Saturday with out the bullpen permitting one other run.
I’d argue that the Dodgers bullpen scoreless streak is even longer, at 38 innings, due to the May 15 win over the Angels in Anaheim. They used a bullpen sport in that sequence opener, filling in for a scheduled Snell begin, and Will Klein started that sport with two scoreless innings, which technically counts as a begin, however in my eyes he’s a reliever who simply occurred to pitch at first of the competition.
The Dodgers are 8-2 within the final 10 video games whereas their bullpen has been spotless. Here’s the breakdown of all of the contributors to the 36 38-inning scoreless streak, together with Klein’s “start” on May 15:
