Dodgers Collected 90th Win In 126th Game

The Los Angeles Dodgers won their 90th game of the season on Thursday, reaching 90 wins before any other major league team had reached 80 wins.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is a man of few words: "I like wins."

Los Angeles leads the NL West by 21 games and their magic number to clinch the division is only 14. (The Red Sox, who have a 4.5-game lead in the AL East, would be 18.5 GB the Dodgers if the two teams were in the same division.)

The Dodgers are the 12th team since 1900 to have 90+ wins in their first 126 games, and only the sixth team in the last 108 years (since 1910).

No Dodgers team has reached 90 wins quicker. The 1942 and 1953 teams took 131 games, the 1899 club took 133 games and the 1955 team (which won the World Series) took 136 games.

The Dodgers (91-36) are on pace to win 116 games, tying the major league record.

Over the last four seasons, the Dodgers finished with 92, 94, 92, and 91 wins. The 2017 team has 91 wins ... with 35 games remaining.
