The Los Angeles Dodgers set a franchise record for the best home winning streak to start a season with 10 consecutive wins in 2009, surpassing the 1946 Brooklyn team's nine-game record at Ebbets Field.
The Dodgers' streak in 2009 was significant, being the longest by any National League team since 1983, tying the modern record with the 1918 New York Giants and 1970 Chicago Cubs.
The 2009 Dodgers improved to an MLB-leading 18-8 overall, marking their best start since 1984. They achieved this after sweeping the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies at home.
Pitcher Chad Billingsley played a crucial role in the Dodgers' success, finishing seven innings, allowing just two runs on four hits, gaining eight strikeouts, and improving to 6-0 for the season.
