Blake Snell's Milwaukee masterpiece in Game 1 of the NLCS brings back memories of what Sandy Koufax achieved for the Dodgers during their 1965 World Series win.

On a night that will be remembered by baseball enthusiasts, Blake Snell achieved a milestone that had not been seen in nearly seven decades. According to OptaStats, Snell became the first MLB pitcher to face the minimum through 8.

Though Los Angeles has fielded legendary rotations – from Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale to Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw in his prime – never before had four consecutive starters each recorded at least nine strikeouts in the postseason.
