The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent much of the 2026 season battling injuries across their pitching staff, but somehow, the bullpen has turned into one of the most dominant units in baseball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodgers Bullpen Nearing MLB History Amid Dominant Scoreless Streak<\/h2>\n

\"Dodgers<\/p>\n

After Saturday night\u2019s 11-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, the Dodgers bullpen extended its scoreless streak to 36 consecutive innings, continuing what has become one of the biggest stories of the club\u2019s recent surge.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a team that entered the season with massive expectations, the bullpen\u2019s emergence has stabilized nearly everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Question Mark to Major Strength<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not long ago, relief pitching looked like a potential weakness for Los Angeles. Injuries and inconsistency forced the Dodgers to shuffle arms in and out early in the year, while starters were frequently asked to carry heavy workloads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the exact opposite is happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every inning feels locked down once the Dodgers hand over a lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The streak began quietly during the club\u2019s recent stretch against the Angels and Padres, but it has snowballed into franchise history. Earlier this week, the bullpen reached 29 consecutive scoreless innings \u2014 already the franchise\u2019s longest run since 1998.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the group has only continued piling up zeroes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depth Has Become the Difference<\/b><\/h3>\n

What makes the streak even more impressive is that it hasn\u2019t been carried by just one reliever.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dodgers have received contributions from nearly every arm in the bullpen:<\/span><\/p>\n
