"The Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season and begin their journey on Tuesday when they host the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series. The Dodgers went 5-1 against the Reds during the regular season, including winning all three matchups at Dodger Stadium from Aug. 25-27. L.A. outscored Cincinnati, 30-15, in the six games. The Dodgers and Reds are facing each other for the only second time in MLB postseason history, with their previous meeting coming in the 1995 NL Division Series. Cincinnati completed a three-game sweep of L.A. before being eliminated by the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the NL Championship Series."
"Game 1: 7-2 loss The Dodgers, with home-field advantage, looked to get off to a good start against the Reds in Game 1 of the 1995 NLDS. However, they immediately fell into a 4-0 deficit in the first inning after Ramón Martínez allowed two-out, extra-base hits to Hal Morris and Benito Santiago. The Reds extended their lead to 7-0 before the Dodgers scored their first run on an RBI single by Brett Butler in the fifth inning."
