2024 Los Angeles Dodgers season

The 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 135th season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 67th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 63rd season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles California.

Shohei Ohtani made his Dodgers debut after signing a record 10-year, $700 million contract with the club in the off-season. In his first season, Ohtani became the first player in MLB history to break the 50 homerun, 50 stolen bases barrier in a single-season. He also surpassed Shawn Green's Dodgers single-season home run record with 54 home runs.

The Dodgers broadcast teams suffered losses this season as both Charley Steiner and Fernando Valenzuela battled cancer. Steiner was unable to broadcast any games on the radio during 2024 but announced that his multiple myeloma blood cancer was in remission by the end of the season. Valenzuela, long time Dodgers player and a Spanish language broadcaster since 2003 worked most games but was forced to step down from broadcasting during the last week of the season due to a battle with liver cancer. Valenzuela would soon die of liver cancer a few days before the World Series began.

The Dodgers clinched their 12th consecutive postseason berth on September 19, which remains the longest active playoff streak in major North American professional sports. It also extended the longest playoff streak in franchise history. On September 26, the Dodgers won the National League West division for the third consecutive season and the 11th time in the past 12 seasons. The Dodgers remained in first place in the division for the entire season (making their postseason World Series victory a wire-to-wire win); The Dodgers finished the season with a 98–64 record, the best in the majors, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. For the third time in five years, they faced their division rival San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series, which they won the series in five games to advance to the National League Championship Series. They beat the New York Mets in six games to win their first NL pennant since 2020 and 25th overall. They faced the New York Yankees in the World Series, the twelfth meeting between the two clubs in the World Series and the first since 1981. The Dodgers won the series in five games for their eighth World Series championship. The Series was highlighted by Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam in Game 1, which many compared to Kirk Gibson's Game 1 walk-off home run in the 1988 World Series.

Spring training

The Dodgers began spring training on February 8, 2024, when pitchers and catchers reported to Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona with the first full squad workout on February 14 and the first Cactus League game on February 22. They finished 13–5–1 in the league schedule.

Both Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin were placed on the 60-day injured list at the start of camp as they recovered from their arm surgeries. On February 26, the Dodgers traded outfielder Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins and re-signed utility player Kiké Hernández to a one-year contract. On March 4, they acquired infielder Andre Lipcius from the Detroit Tigers for cash considerations and moved Clayton Kershaw to the 60-day injured list to make room on the roster. On March 11, the Dodgers announced that Tyler Glasnow would be the opening day starting pitcher. Lipcius was designated for assignment on March 16, when pitcher Daniel Hudson was added to the roster.

On March 16, several Dodgers minor leaguers participated in the inaugural "Spring Breakout" showcase, playing against a team of minor leaguers from the Los Angeles Angels organization. The Dodgers roster included top prospect Dalton Rushing

This season the Dodgers played exhibition games in South Korea against the Kiwoom Heroes and the Korea national baseball team on March 17 and 18 before opening the regular season with two games against the San Diego Padres at Gocheok Sky Dome as part of MLB World Tour. They then played three exhibition games in the Freeway Series against the Angels before the rest of the regular season commenced.

It was the ninth straight game with an RBI for Ohtani, tying a Dodger record also held by Roy Campanella (1955), Augie Galan (1944) and Eddie Brown (1924). He homered again to lead off the next game, breaking the record. Stone pitched a complete game, four hit shutout with seven strikeouts as the Dodgers finished off the sweep with a 4–0 win.

Christian Walker had four hits, including a double and two home runs, as the Diamondbacks routed the Dodgers 12–4. Walker hit another two homers in the next game, a 9–3 Diamondbacks win. The next series was against the Milwaukee Brewers. Will Smith had three home runs in the first game and Freddie Freeman drove in the go-ahead run on a hit in the eighth as the Dodgers came from behind to win 8–5. Smith homered again, in his first at-bat of the next game, tying him for the major league record of four home runs in four consecutive at-bats. The Dodgers won 5–3 after home runs by Miguel Vargas and Ohtani in the eighth inning. The Brewers won the last game of the series, 9–2.

The Dodgers next took a trip to Citizens Bank Park to play the top team in the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies. In the opener, Trea Turner hit a grand slam homer in the fourth inning as part of a 10–1 rout. Kyle Schwarber led off the next game with a homer and Matt Strahm struck out Ohtani with two men on base in the seventh inning to preserve a 4–3 win the second game and the Phillies finished off a sweep with a 5–1 win in the finale. They followed that up with a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. After falling behind early, the Dodgers came back with a Freeman homer, scoring the eventual winning run on a ground rule double by Ohtani in the ninth for a 4–3 win. In the next game, the Tigers scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to erase a deficit and then won 11–9 on a walk-off homer by Gio Urshela in the 10th inning. The Dodgers scored three in the first in the final game of the series, but again blew the game in the ninth and lost 4–3.

The Dodgers had six players selected to the 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game: Pitcher Tyler Glasnow, catcher Will Smith, first baseman Freddie Freeman, shortstop Mookie Betts, outfielder Teoscar Hernández and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. Hernández also participated in, and won, the 2024 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby, the first Dodger ever to win it.

After the all-star break, the Dodgers played a three-game series at home against the Boston Red Sox. They won the opener 4–1 thanks to a grand slam home run by Freeman in the eighth inning. In the next game, the Dodgers trailed going into the ninth inning only for Kiké Hernández to tie the game with a solo home run. Tyler O'Neill hit his second home run of the game in the 10th to put the Red Sox back up by two and Hernández again drove home the tying run, this time with a single. They won the game in the 11th, 7–6, on a Will Smith walk-off hit. The Dodgers hit six home runs in the next game, as part of a 9–6 victory that completed their sweep of the Red Sox. River Ryan made is major league debut in the next game, pitching innings against the San Francisco Giants. Teoscar Hernández homered and drove in all three runs in a 3–2 win. The Dodgers won again, 5–2, the next day. Gavin Lux had two hits, including a double, and drove in two runs. The Giants scored six runs in the eighth inning in the third game of the series as they won, 8–3. Clayton Kershaw made his first start of the season on July 25, after coming off the injured list, and allowed two runs in four innings. Nick Ahmed and Ohtani hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning and the Dodgers finished off the series with a 6–4 win.

The Dodgers next played the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park, losing the opener 5–0. The Dodgers took a 5–0 lead in the next game, only to lose 7–6 on a walk-off homer by Alex Bregman. River Ryan struck out eight while allowing only one run in innings in the final game of the series as the Dodgers won 6–2. The Dodgers scored five runs in the first inning of the first game of a two-game series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park only to see the bullpen again blow the lead and they lost in 10 innings, 6–5. It was the third time in 13 days the Dodgers had blown a lead of five or more runs. The Padres won the next game, 8–1.

August

The Dodgers began August by playing the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández both homered but the pitching continued to struggle as they lost 6–5. Jack Flaherty, acquired from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline, made his Dodgers debut in the following game. He struck out seven in six scoreless innings and the Dodgers broke out of their funk with a 10–0 win. Kiké Hernández doubled twice and drove in two runs in the Dodgers 3–2 win to close out the road trip.

The next homestand was against the Philadelphia Phillies. Tyler Glasnow struck out nine in six innings, Teoscar Hernández homered as part of a four-run third, and Ohtani added a late homer in a 5–3 win. The Phillies took the next game, 6–2. Kyle Schwarber homered three times in the Phillies 9–4 victory in the series finale. The next series up was against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Flaherty struck out 10 in innings and the Dodgers hit three home runs in a 9–5 victory to start the series. Teoscar Hernández had three hits, including a homer and double, as the Dodgers took the next game, 4–1. Hernández drove in the winning run the following day on a walk-off hit in the 10th inning for a 6–5 victory and a series sweep.

The Dodgers traveled to American Family Field on August 12 to play the Milwaukee Brewers. Clayton Kershaw allowed only one run on three hits in innings while Mookie Betts had two hits, including a homerun, and drove in three in his first game in two months as the Dodgers won 5–2. In the next game, Gavin Stone allowed only one run in five innings, while striking out six, while Will Smith had three hits, including a home run in the 7–2 win. The Brewers took the next game, 5–4. In the final game of the series, the Dodgers fell behind 3–0 in the first, came back to take the lead only to lose 6–4 when the Brewers scored three in the bottom of the eighth.

Kershaw pitched six shutout innings in the series finale, Ohtani homered again and the Dodgers won 2–1.

They returned home on August 19 to play the Seattle Mariners with Stone striking out a career high 10 batters while only allowing two hits in seven scoreless innings. Gavin Lux and Max Muncy both homered in a three-run seventh, which accounted for all the runs in a 3–0 win. The Mariners jumped out to a three run lead early in the next game, but the Dodgers came back with Lux and Muncy again homering and won the game, 6–3, thanks to a pinch hit three-run homer by Jason Heyward in the eighth inning. The Dodgers completed the sweep of the Mariners with a 8–4 win. Muncy doubled twice and drove in three runs. On August 23, Bobby Miller struck out nine batters in six innings and the Dodgers won 7–3 against the Tampa Bay Rays on a walk-off grand slam home run by Ohtani, who became the fastest player in MLB history to reach the 40–40 club. He accomplished the feat in his 126th game, passing the old mark (set by Alfonso Soriano in 2006) by 21 games. In the next game, the Dodgers quickly fell behind 4–0 in the first inning but came back to take the lead with home runs by Ohtani, Teoscar Hernández and Miguel Rojas. However, the Rays tied the game on a Junior Caminero home run in the ninth and scored the winning run on José Caballero homer in the 10th. The final score was 9–8. The Dodgers won the series finale, 3–1, after Betts hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning. Stone struck out seven while only allowing one run in seven innings. The Baltimore Orioles came to town for a three-game series next, with the Orioles taking game one, 3–2, on a two-run home run by Ramón Urías in the fifth. Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández homered in the next game, a 6–4 Dodgers win. The Dodgers recorded 14 hits in the next game, as they won 6–3.

At the end of August, the Dodgers began a road trip to Chase Field for a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers hit three home runs to two from the Diamondbacks in a 10–9 win in the opener. In the following game, Ohtani, Betts and Freddie Freeman led off the game with back-to back-to back home runs, the first time that had been done in franchise history. Tommy Edman's two run single in the ninth brought in the winning margin in the 8–6 win.

September

The Dodgers started September by being blown out by the Diamondbacks, 14–3. Justin Wrobleski allowed eight runs in the second inning and 10 overall, tying an LA Dodger record for most earned runs allowed in a single game. In the series finale, Freddie Freeman homered twice, Teoscar Hernández had five hits and the Dodgers took the game, 11–6. Next up was a two-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium. Mookie Betts hit a three-run home run in the 10th inning as the Dodgers won 6–2. In the next game, Bobby Miller struggled allowing five runs in the first inning as the Dodgers were blown out 10–1.

Back home for the weekend series with the Cleveland Guardians on September 6, the Dodgers lost 3–1. The next day, the Dodgers scored six runs in the first inning, en route to a 7–2 win. Andy Pages and Betts homered. Jack Flaherty struck out six in scoreless innings and Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy homered as the Dodgers wrapped up the series with a 4–0 shutout win. The Chicago Cubs demolished the Dodgers, 10–4, the next day, with former Dodgers Cody Bellinger and Michael Busch homering. In the next game, Yoshinobu Yamamoto returned, after missing close to three months with a shoulder injury, and struck out eight in four innings. Tommy Edman hit two home runs in the game, and Muncy hit one of himself to give the Dodgers a 3–1 lead after five. However, three costly errors in the eighth inning led to five runs by the Cubs who won the game, 6–3. In the series finale, the Dodgers scored five runs in the first inning, hitting four homeruns, including three in a row from Will Smith, Edman and Muncy. However, Miller again struggled allowing six runs in innings as the Cubs came back to tie the game at seven. Edman's second homer of the game, in the eighth inning, gave the Dodgers a 10–8 victory.

The next road trip took the Dodgers to Truist Park for a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Landon Knack allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks in only two innings as the Braves took the opener, 6–2. The Braves blew out the Dodgers, 10–1, in the second game. In the third game, the Dodgers scored seven runs in the ninth inning to break open a tie game. Teoscar Hernández, Edman and Muncy homered back-to-back-to-back in that inning. The series wrapped up with a 9–0 shutout by the Dodgers, who scored six runs in the seventh inning (with a three-run homer by Freeman the big blow) to pull away. Miller only lasted two innings in his next start, in the opener against the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park, allowing four runs. Ohtani hit his 48th home run but the Dodgers lost 11–9. Knack bounced back in his next start, striking out seven in five scoreless innings and the Dodgers hit three homers in a 8–4 win. On September 19, Ohtani had six hits in six at-bats, with two doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in the Dodgers 20–4 rout of the Marlins. In the process he became the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. He also set new Dodgers franchise records for home runs in a season, passing Shawn Green (49 in 2001) and most RBI in a game, passing James Loney (2006) and Gil Hodges (1950) who both had nine. The Dodgers clinched their 12th consecutive playoff appearance with the win.

The Dodgers returned home for the last homestand of the regular season, beginning with the Colorado Rockies. Ohtani had three more hits, including another home run, in the Dodgers 6–4 win. However, they lost the next game, 6–4. The Rockies jumped out to an early lead in the series finale as well but the Dodgers fought back, with back-to-back home runs by Ohtani and Betts in the ninth giving them a 6–5 walk-off win. They finished off the home schedule with a key three-game series with the San Diego Padres, who were only three games back in the division race and they dropped the opener, 4–2, when Miguel Rojas hit into a game ending triple play. They won the following game, 4–3, with Ohtani twice delivery go ahead hits. On September 26, Walker Buehler allowed only one run in five innings, and the Dodgers scored five runs in the fifth inning, but they trailed 2–0 after six. Will Smith tied the game in the seventh with a two-run home run an then Ohtani drove in the go-ahead run four-batters later, putting them ahead for a 7–2 win, which clinched their 11th National League West championship in 12 seasons.

The Dodgers ended the regular season with a three-game roadtrip to Coors Field to play the Rockies. Ohtani had four more hits, including a homerun and double, in a 11–4 win. The following day, they secured the best record in MLB and home field advantage throughout the postseason when the Philadelphia Phillies lost and they blew out the Rockies again, 13–2. The Dodgers concluded the regular season with a 2–1 victory over the Rockies. A Chris Taylor homerun tied the game in the eighth and the Dodgers took the lead when Seth Halvorsen balked in Austin Barnes later that inning.

National League Division Series

The Dodgers started the postseason by facing the San Diego Padres in the Division Series. This was the fifth straight year they played a NL West team in the NLDS and the third time in that stretch that the opponent was the Padres.

In the first game, Yoshinobu Yamamoto started on the mound for the Dodgers, but only lasted three innings while allowing five runs, including a two-run home run by Manny Machado in the first inning. Shohei Ohtani had two hits in his first career post-season game, including a game-tying three run home run in the third inning. The Padres went back ahead the next inning on a two-run double by Xander Bogaerts but in the fourth, Tommy Edman scored on a wild pitch and then Teoscar Hernández drove in two runs on a single to put the Dodgers ahead for the first time. They added an insurance run when Will Smith scored on a force play in the fifth. The Dodgers bullpen pitched six shutout innings, including innings by Blake Treinen to close out the game and the 7–5 win. Game 2 was a disaster for the Dodgers, as the Padres again jumped on them early with a solo homer by Fernando Tatís Jr. in the first and a two-run homer by David Peralta in the second off of Jack Flaherty. After Jurickson Profar robbed a Mookie Betts homer in the bottom of the first, the Dodgers offense could only manage three hits off Padres started Yu Darvish in seven innings. The Padres score one run in the sixth and six more in the eighths and ninth for a 10–2 rout. They hit six total home runs, including two by Tatís, setting a new franchise record and tying the MLB record.

The series switched to Petco Park for Game 3 and Betts homered in the top of the first to give the Dodgers their first lead of the game. It didn't last long as some sloppy defensive plays and another Tatís home run led the Padres to score six runs in the second inning off Walker Buehler. Teoscar Hernández hit a grand slam homer in the third inning of Michael King to cut the lead to one. Both bullpens pitched shutouts the rest of the game and the Padres took the lead in the series with a 6–5 win. Facing elimination in Game 4, the Dodgers jumped to an early lead with again Betts homering in the top of the first. They added two more runs on RBI singles from Ohtani and Betts in the second. Will Smith hit a two run homer in the third and Edman drove in another run on a sacrifice bunt in the seventh. Gavin Lux's two-run homer in the eighth finished the scoring. Without a starter, the Dodgers bullpen worked the entire game, with eight pitchers allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out eight in the largest post-season shutout in Dodgers' franchise history.

In Game 5, back at Dodger Stadium, Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed only two hits and one walk in five scoreless innings and the Dodgers got two solo home runs, one each by Kiké Hernández and Teoscar Hernández. The Dodgers won the game 2–0 to win the series.

National League Championship Series

The Dodgers faced the New York Mets in the Championship Series. In the first game, at Dodger Stadium, Jack Flaherty struck out six while allowing only two hits over seven scoreless innings while the Dodgers offense chased Mets starter Kodai Senga after just innings and went on to rout the Mets, 9–0. This was the third consecutive shutout for the Dodgers, tying the all-time Major League record of 33 consecutive scoreless innings during the postseason. They became the third team ever to pitch three consecutive postseason shutouts, joining the 1966 Baltimore Orioles and the 1905 New York Giants. The streak ended when the first batter of the next game, Francisco Lindor, homered off opener Ryan Brasier. Mark Vientos hit a grand slam off of Landon Knack the next inning and the Mets took an early 6–0 lead. Sean Manaea kept the Dodgers offense in check, striking out seven and allowing only two earned runs in five innings. The Mets won 7–3 to even the series up.

The series moved to Citi Field for the next three games. In Game 3, Walker Buehler struck out six in four scoreless innings while the Dodgers offense scored eight runs on three home runs by Kiké Hernández, Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy, who tied the Dodgers franchise playoff record with his 13th homerun (tying Justin Turner and Corey Seager). The Dodgers won 8–0 for their second shutout of the series and took a 2–1 series lead. Muncy reached base all five time he came to bat in the game, with three walks, a single and the homer. He was the fourth player in franchise history to accomplish that after Gil Hodges (Game 2 of the 1956 World Series), Manny Ramirez (Game 4 of the 2008 NLCS) and Will Smith (Game 3 of the 2020 NLDS). He reached base his first four at-bats in Game 4 as well, extending his on base streak to 12 straight appearances, a record for a single playoff series and tied with Reggie Jackson for overall playoff appearances. Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed two runs, while striking out eight in innings and the bullpen held the game the rest of the way, escaping bases loaded no out jam in the sixth inning. Mookie Betts had four hits, including a homer and a double, while Ohtani also homered in the Dodgers 10–2 win. In Game 5, Flaherty didn't have anything to start the game, surrendering a three-run home run by Pete Alonso in the first inning and then going on to give up five more runs in his three innings of work. Andy Pages hit two home runs for the Dodgers and Betts added one but the Mets teed off on Flaherty and Brent Honeywell Jr., who worked innings out of the bullpen. The final score was 12–6 Mets.

Back home for Game 6, the Dodgers went with a bullpen game against the Mets, using seven different relievers to get through the game. A two-run home run by Tommy Edman off of Manaea and another two-run homer by Will Smith off Phil Maton, both in the third inning staked the Dodgers to a 6–1 lead. Vientos hit a two-run homer in the fourth to cut the lead to three. After each team added solo runs, the Dodgers pulled away in the eighth with three more runs to win the National League pennant with a 10–5 victory. Blake Treinen pitched the last two innings for the save.

The 2024 NLCS had an average margin of victory of 6.7, the highest in MLB postseason history. The Dodgers scored 46 runs in the series, which was also a record, two more than the Atlanta Braves in the 1996 NLCS and San Francisco Giants in the 2002 World Series. It was only the third time in history that one team had outscored another in the NLCS by 20 or more runs, joining the 1996 Braves and 2017 Dodgers. The nine runs scored by Ohtani in the series set a new Dodgers postseason record, surpassing Corey Seager's 2020 NLCS mark by one and the Dodgers walked 42 times in the series, a major league record, surpassing the previous mark of 40 set by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2011 World Series and Cleveland Indians in the 1997 World Series. Ohtani and Muncy each reached base 17 times in the series, setting a new franchise record, surpassing the previous mark of 15 set by Jim Gilliam (1955 World Series), Manny Ramírez (2008 NLCS), and Seager (2020 World Series).

World Series

The Dodgers faced the New York Yankees in the World Series for the 12th time, and first since the 1981 World Series. In Game 1, at Dodger Stadium, Jack Flaherty allowed two runs (on a two-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton) in innings while striking out six. Gerrit Cole was a bit better, allowing only one run (on a Will Smith sacrifice fly), in six innings. The Dodgers tied the game in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Mookie Betts and then in the 10th, Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled, stole two bases, and scored on a force out by Anthony Volpe. Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam off Nestor Cortés Jr. in the bottom of the inning to give the Dodgers a 6–3 win. It was the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history and only the third walk-off homer in Game 1, joining Kirk Gibson (1988) and Adolis García (2023). Yoshinobu Yamamoto started Game 2 for the Dodgers and only one run on one hit (a Juan Soto home run) in innings. Tommy Edman homered for the Dodgers in the second and then Teoscar Hernández and Freeman homered back-to-back in the third inning. The Yankees got a run back in the ninth and loaded the bases against Blake Treinen before Alex Vesia retired pinch-hitter Jose Trevino on a fly out to preserve the Dodgers 4–2 win.

The series moved to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 and Walker Buehler responded by pitching five scoreless innings for the Dodgers. Freeman homered in the second inning, the third straight game in the series and fifth straight overall in the World Series for him, continuing from the 2021 World Series, tying George Springer for the MLB record. The Dodgers added two more runs as the bullpen continued to pitch a shutout, which was broken when Alex Verdugo hit a two-run homerun in the ninth. The following batter, Gleyber Torres, ground out to end the game with a 4–2 win and a 3–0 series lead. Freeman hit another two-run home run in the first inning of Game 4, to break the record. The Dodgers went with a bullpen game and the Yankees got one run in the second and then four more in the third on a grand slam by Volpe. The Dodgers got two back in the fifth on a solo homer by Smith and a groundout by Freeman. Austin Wells homered for the Yankees in the sixth and they added another five in the eighth (three of them on a home run by Torres) to make the final score 11–4 Yankees, preventing the sweep and continuing the series. In Game 5, Flaherty struggled from the start, pitching only innings, while allowing four runs on four hits and two first inning home runs (by Aaron Judge and Chisholm). The Yankees added another run on a solo homer by Stanton in the third to take a 5–0 lead. The Dodgers came back with five unearned runs in the fifth, thanks to sloppy Yankees defense and key hits by Betts and Freeman. The Yankees went back ahead on a sacrifice fly by Stanton in the sixth but the Dodgers scored two in the eighth on two sacrifice flys by Gavin Lux and Betts to take the lead. After innings by Treinen in relief, Buehler came in on one day rest to pitch a scoreless ninth and the Dodgers won the game, 7–6, and took the series. Freeman won the World Series Most Valuable Player award with a record-tying (Bobby Richardson (1960)) 12 RBI in the series.
