The 1990 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 101st for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 33rd season in Los Angeles, California. The Dodgers finished in second place to the Cincinnati Reds in the 1990 National League Western Division race, as the team's pitching staff led the majors with 29 complete games. Ramón Martínez became the youngest Dodger starter to win 20 games since Ralph Branca, and also tied Sandy Koufax's club record with 18 strikeouts against the Atlanta Braves on June 4. On June 29, Fernando Valenzuela managed to throw a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals, on the same night that Dave Stewart of the Oakland Athletics no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays.
