The Dodgers are in good hands when Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are at their peak. In the Wild Card series, they both made MLB history by each securing nine strikeouts and fewer than five hits in back-to-back starts.

Now up 2-0 in the NLCS against the Brewers, Snell and Yamamoto achieved history together again by breaking a 119-year-old record, per Jayson Stark of The Athletic. Through the first two games of the NLCS, they both held the Brewers to four combined hits.

The last pitcher to do so was Mordecai (Three Finger) Brown of the 1906 Chicago Cubs who gave up only five hits. That year, the Cubs won 116 games and lost the World Series to the White Sox. In Game 1, Snell was on top of his game as he pitched eight innings, had 10 strikeouts, and gave up one hit.
