Dodgers beat Braves, run season-opening winning streak to 6 games

LOS ANGELES — The parties are over for now. The winning continues.

The Dodgers started the season celebrating baseball’s global appeal in Tokyo then their own achievements at home. With no pre-game ceremony on Monday night, they just went to work, beating the Atlanta Braves, 6-1, behind a combined four-hitter from Tyler Glasnow and the bullpen.

The Dodgers have started the season 6-0 for the first time since 1981. They have not started a season with a longer winning streak since 1955, when the Brooklyn team started 10-0.
