2026 MLB Milestones and Records Tracker: Dodgers Off to Historic Start

The 2026 MLB season is off to a blazing start, and history has already been made just a few weeks in. We're keeping track of all the major milestones reached and records broken across the league this season. Here's the latest: Dodgers Break Their Own Record The defending, back-to-back World Series-champion Dodgers are 15-4, marking the first time in 49 years that they've started a campaign with said record. As of Apr. 18, that record (78.9% winning percentage) is the best in MLB. Moreover, Los Angeles has won five of its first six series, including a road series against the Blue Jays, whom they defeated in the 2025 World Series. Regarding individual standouts, outfielder Andy Pages has driven in 21 runs, while boasting a .412/.453/.691 slash line; catcher Will Smith owns a .300 batting average; as a pitcher, two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani has posted a 0.50 ERA through his first three starts. As a collective, the Dodgers are first in the sport in home runs (35), batting average (.287), on-base percentage (.364), slugging percentage (.499), opponent batting average (.193) and WHIP (1.05) and are second in combined team ERA (3.07). The last time that Los Angeles got out to a 15-4 start, the 1977 season, it reached the World Series. Granted, the Dodgers lost the 1977 World Series to the Yankees. José Ramírez Homers Against All MLB Teams Ramírez has officially made more baseball history. The iconic third baseman and 13-year veteran is now the first Guardians player to hit a home run against all 29 other MLB teams. He accomplished the feat against Braves starter Martin Perez at Truist Park on Saturday, April 11. Ramírez pulled the 82-mph pitch down the left-field line, clearing the stadium's fence on a 403-foot solo shot. No other slugger in the Guardians organization has at least one homer against every other team, per The Sporting News. "Proud of myself," Ramírez said, per MLB.com. "Thank God for that, but I'm really proud of that accomplishment." Ramírez's 287 career home runs, all with the Guardians' franchise, rank second behind Jim Thome (337). The four teams that Ramírez has homered against the most are the Tigers and White Sox (35 HRs), Royals (32) and Twins (27). That was just the second history-making moment Ramírez had that week. On Monday, April 6, the 33-year-old appeared in his franchise-best 1,620th career game, snapping a mark held by Terry Turner for nearly 108 years. Stay tuned for updates.
