Dodgers' Dominance in LCS
The Dodgers and Brewers have started their League Championship Series, with the Dodgers taking the lead. This is a rare occurrence, as it has been 55 years since both road teams in a League Championship Series have won the opening games.
According to Sarah Langs, the last time this happened was in 1970, when the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles took the first two games of their respective series. Both series ended in three-game sweeps, with the Orioles going on to win the World Series in five games.
The 1970 Cincinnati Reds stormed into Three Rivers Stadium and took the first two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- The 1970 Baltimore Orioles scored 21 runs and took the first two games against the Minnesota Twins.
- Both League Championship Series ended in three-game sweeps.
