Muncy’s two‑homer night

Max Muncy hit two solo home runs on April 17 as the Dodgers beat the Rockies 7-1 at Coors Field. (mlb.com) His second shot came in the fifth inning and pushed Los Angeles ahead 6-1. MLB’s game clip listed it as his sixth homer of the 2026 season, a 419-foot drive to right field with a 105.2 mph exit velocity. (mlb.com) The Dodgers got both of Muncy’s runs from solo homers and got seven innings from Tyler Glasnow, who allowed two hits and struck out seven. Los Angeles finished with 13 hits and improved to 15-4. (espn.com) The game opened in 36-degree weather after the Rockies’ grounds crew cleared about 3 inches of snow from the field. The Associated Press called it the coldest game in Dodgers franchise history. (espn.com) (sports.yahoo.com) Muncy’s power has been a big part of the Dodgers’ first three weeks. ESPN’s player page showed him with six home runs in 18 games after Friday night, putting him among the club’s early home-run leaders. (espn.com) That surge followed an even louder game six days earlier, when Muncy hit three home runs against Texas, including a walk-off blast. The Athletic reported he became the first player since June 19, 2022, to hit three homers including a walk-off in one game. (nytimes.com) Muncy said after Friday’s win that the cold affected the game and that the Dodgers still had room to improve in the series. The two-homer night still gave Los Angeles another example of the left-handed power that has helped drive its 15-4 start. (mlb.com)
