The Dodgers haven't lost three straight games since last August.
Really.

No. At all.
In 2008, the swept the Cubs in the NLDS, dropped the first two games of the NLCS to the Phillies, won a game, then lost two more. They won this year’s season opener.
No three-game losing streak there.

*sigh*
March 27 - L, 1-4 vs. KC
March 28 - L, 1-6 @ CWS
March 29 - L, 3-7 vs. SD
March 30 - L, 5-9 @ Oak
Hence, “in the regular season”

Spring training?
Wow, I didn’t even think of that. I was only concerned with counting the games that, well, counted.
