Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 130th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 62nd season in Los Angeles, California. They played their home games at Dodger Stadium. On September 4, the Dodgers broke the National League record for most home runs in a season with their 250th home run, breaking the old mark set by the 2000 Houston Astros.[1] The record would later be broken by the 2023 Atlanta Braves.[2] The Dodgers became the first team to clinch a playoff berth by winning their seventh straight National League West title on September 10, the earliest they had clinched in franchise history.[3] They finished the regular season with a record of 106–56, breaking the franchise record for wins in a season previously held by the 1953 Dodgers. Their 106–56 record was the second best in the MLB, just one game less than the Houston Astros who had a record of 107–55. The Dodgers lost to the eventual World Series champion Washington Nationals in the NLDS in five games, ending their streak of three straight NLCS appearances. With the Washington Nationals winning the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers become the second franchise to lose to the eventual World Series champions in four consecutive postseasons, (the New York Yankees from 2001 to 2004 were the first).
