Both of the Brooklyn Dodger teams had 19 game streaks during those respective seasons.
The Los Angeles record prior to 2018 was 16 games and that was shared with the 1960 and 1977 Dodger teams. They also now share the record for most consecutive home games to start season with at least one home run.

The Dodgers have now hit 48 home runs. That is most they have ever hit before May 1st. However, as for just April, they have hit 34. That ties them with the 2001 Dodgers for second place for most home runs in April, the record is held by the 2000 Dodgers, they hit 41 home runs in April. The Dodgers have four games remaining this month to see if they can approach that record.
