The Dodgers won 6-1 at home against the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium on the 1st (Korea time) with starter Tyler Glasnow's good pitching, winning six consecutive games.
The Dodgers are the third team in Major League history to win the World Series more than six consecutive games in the previous season. The New York Yankees won seven consecutive games in 1933 and the Detroit Tigers won six consecutive games in 1985. If the Dodgers add two consecutive wins, they will beat the Yankees to become the most record-breaking player in this category.
After beating the Chicago Cubs with four wins in the 1932 World Series, the Yankees won their seventh game from the opening game of the following year. At that time, the Yankees were the strongest in their time with 'murder'srow', including No. 3 Babe Ruth and No. 4 Lou Gehrig.
In addition, six consecutive wins are the most consecutive wins since the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958. The Dodgers have won six consecutive games since the first game of the 1981 season. The current Dodgers are the strongest batters of the 21st century with MVP trio Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. However, Freeman missed the match against Atlanta on the same day after injuring his right ankle, which he underwent surgery last winter after slipping while performing a shaw at home last weekend. It is unclear whether he will play again on the 2nd.

He became the winning pitcher by giving up two hits and three walks in five innings, allowing eight strikeouts and no runs. Glasnow did not allow a single hit until the fifth inning with one out. Glasnow, who gave up a right-handed hit to Jared Kelnick after one out in the fifth inning and a left-handed hit to Michael Harris after two outings, struck out Austin Riley with a swing and miss and continued a scoreless streak.
Glasnow is said to have changed his routine. Until last year, he tried to increase his speed by throwing heavy balls during practice, but his arm was strained and his injuries became more frequent due to the adverse effect. Glasnow instead warms up with a long toss with less effort. It is a routine that can prevent injuries while maintaining ball power.

The Dodgers took the lead in the bottom of the first inning with Teoscar Hernandez's two-run homer. In the third inning, Michael Confoto's double and Tommy Edman's sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and second bases added two runs to win the game. Ohtani, the designated hitter of the leadoff, entered the fifth at-bat, allowed one run on two walks and struck out three.
If the Dodgers win consecutive games against Atlanta at the same venue on the 2nd and 3rd, they will win eight consecutive games, breaking the Yankees record 92 years ago. It remains to be seen whether Ohtani, Betts and maybe Freeman will achieve this.
