Dodgers' Dominance in LCS
The Dodgers and Seattle Mariners have achieved something unprecedented in postseason play, not seen in 55 years.
Since 1970, no two road teams in a League Championship Series have taken both opening games of the LCS, until now.
The 1970 Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles accomplished this feat, with both series ending in three-game sweeps.
- The 1970 Cincinnati Reds took the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium.
- The 1970 Baltimore Orioles scored 21 runs and took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium.
Historically, the Orioles went on to defeat the Reds in the World Series in five games, a gentleman's sweep.
Author's summary: Dodgers dominate LCS with historic wins.
