On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 10-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies thanks to a three-run home run from Max Muncy. The home run was Muncy’s second of the night and put the Dodgers up for good.
The Dodgers had taken an early lead in the game, scoring four runs in the first inning. However, the Phillies battled back to tie the game at 6-6 in the top of the sixth inning. That’s when Muncy stepped up to the plate and delivered the decisive blow.
Muncy’s home run was his 20th of the season and helped the Dodgers to their sixth consecutive victory. It also marked the first time this season that the Dodgers had scored 10 or more runs in a game.
The win was especially sweet for the Dodgers, as it came against their division rivals. The Phillies had been playing well lately and had won five of their last six games.
The Dodgers now have a comfortable lead in the National League West and look poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. With Muncy providing power at the plate and a deep pitching staff, the Dodgers have all the pieces they need to make a championship run.
Muncy’s home run was a key moment in the game and it helped propel the Dodgers to victory. It was also a reminder of just how dangerous this team can be when they are firing on all cylinders.
