In a thrilling 8–7 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy hit three home runs, including a walk-off blast in the ninth inning. The win marked the end of a 67-year drought for the Dodgers, as Muncy became only the second player in franchise history to hit three home runs in a game that included a walk-off. The Dodgers improved to 10–3, the first MLB team to reach double-digit wins in the 2026 season.
Muncy’s first two home runs came in the second and fourth innings, giving the Dodgers an early lead and later pulling them within a run. His third and final home run, a 401-foot no-doubter to right-center field, sealed the victory. With this performance, Muncy now has 213 career home runs as a Dodger, surpassing Steve Garvey for third place on the franchise’s all-time list.
The game was filled with dramatic moments, including a blown save by closer Edwin Díaz in the ninth inning. The Dodgers trailed multiple times but staged a comeback, aided by Andy Pages, who went 3-for-3 with four RBIs, including a go-ahead double in the sixth inning and a two-run homer in the eighth. Starter Tyler Glasnow pitched six innings, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out seven.
Muncy, a two-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion, has been a key contributor to the Dodgers’ success since joining the team in 2018. He is the franchise’s all-time postseason home run leader with 16 and has consistently delivered in high-pressure situations. The Dodgers have now won six of their last seven games, reinforcing their status as the team to beat in MLB.
