Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke tossed eight scoreless innings during a 5-0 win Sunday against the Nationals, pushing his scoreless innings streak to 43 2/3.
The MLB record is held by former Dodgers starting pitcher Orel Hershiser, who threw 59 consecutive scoreless innings during the 1988 season.
The right-hander scattered three singles, while issuing one walk and striking out a season-best 11 batters. He threw 76 of 119 pitches for strikes.
Greinke (9-2) has won his last four starts and hasn't taken a loss in his last six starts. Sunday was the first time all season he struck out 10-plus batters. He lowered his season ERA to 1.30.
