The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> ended the 2025 World Series in extra innings.<\/p>\n

It took them until Game 92 of the 2026 regular season to get to extra innings again.<\/p>\n

That’s right — for 91 games, the Dodgers didn’t go past the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

On Monday night, though, they finally got to extras.<\/p>\n

They had Tanner Scott to thank for that after he gave up three runs in the ninth inning to blow a save against the Rockies.<\/p>\n

According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs<\/a>, this is the second-longest a team has gone into a season without reaching extra innings.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it was the 2005 Boston Red Sox<\/a> who still hold the record for this. They were also defending World Series champs, coming off their ending of the Curse of the Bambino.<\/p>\n

So based on a much-too-small sample size, maybe there’s something about winning an epic World Series that leads to a lot of nine-inning games the following season.<\/p>\n

As for the Dodgers on Monday night, they and the Rockies each scored in the 10th inning before Colorado was scoreless in the top of the 11th.<\/p>\n

That set up Dalton Rushing to deliver a walk-off single and ensure the Dodgers won their first extra inning game of the 2026 MLB season.<\/p>\n

It took a while, but it’s only natural that the Dodgers won in this way, too, because lately, they’re the winningest team in the sport.<\/p>\n
