Which team holds the overall record for most consecutive scoreless innings pitched (hint, a long time ago)?

No takers?
One other LA Dodger (boo) streak related trivia. In the middle of the 33 inning scoreless strek, the Dodgers retired 28 consecutive batters (basically a perfect game), but they do not hold the record for most consecutive batters retired in the post season. Which two teams retired more consecutive batters (31 and 29 consecutive innings)?

The Dodgers matched the 1966 Orioles for the longest scoreless streak ever in a single postseason at 33 innings.
The overall consecutive scoreless innings streak:
NL - 56 - Pittsburgh, June 1 to June 9, 1903.
AL - 54 - Baltimore, September 1 to September 7, 1974.
The Yankees own the record for consecutive batters retired in the playoffs. The 2004 Yanks retired 29 in a row between ALDS Game 4 against the Twins and ALCS Game 1 against the Red Sox, and the 1956 Yankees retired 31 consecutive Brooklyn Dodgers from Games 4-6 of the World Series -- including the 27 consecutive batters retired in Don Larsen’s perfect game in Game 5. (Editors note, I am surprised one of you didn’t guess it on that basis).
I feel like Phogge would have gotten these.
