Dodgers officially clinch playoff berth. But the real work is just beginning

The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially clinched their 14th consecutive playoff berth following a 4-1 victory over the Reds. This achievement was secured behind Skubal, who delivered seven scoreless innings. With this milestone, the Dodgers have tied the record for the most straight postseason appearances, a mark previously set by Atlanta from 1991 through 2005. Despite securing their October ticket, the team is not celebrating yet, as they believe the real work is just beginning.
