The Los Angeles Dodgers have tied the modern-day mark for the longest home winning streak at the start of a season. Extending another lengthy run will have them alone in the record book.
Los Angeles looks to move to 13-0 at home and win its 10th straight at Dodger Stadium over the NL-worst Washington Nationals on Wednesday night in the start of a two-game set.
By defeating Arizona 3-1 on Tuesday, the Dodgers (20-8) matched the 1911 Detroit Tigers with 12 consecutive home wins to open a season. Los Angeles has jumped out to a 5 1/2-game lead in the NL West - the largest division lead in the major leagues.
