Max Muncy’s three‑HR night

Max Muncy hit three home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 10, and the last one ended an 8-7 win over Texas. (mlb.com) The walk-off came with two outs in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium, when Muncy drove an 86.1 mile-per-hour slider from Texas left-hander Jacob Latz 401 feet to right-center field. (mlb.com) Muncy finished 4-for-5, and his three home runs accounted for four runs batted in as the Dodgers improved to 10-3 with their 10th win, the first double-digit win total in Major League Baseball this season. (mlb.com) (espn.com) The night also moved Muncy up the Dodgers’ franchise home run list. His first homer was his 211th as a Dodger, and his second passed Steve Garvey for sole possession of third place on the club’s career list. (newsday.com) According to Elias Sports Bureau, Muncy became the second Dodger to hit three home runs in a game that included a walk-off shot, joining Don Demeter on April 21, 1959. He was also the first Major League player to do it since Jack Suwinski on June 19, 2022. (mlb.com) It was Muncy’s second career three-homer game, and it came on a night when the Dodgers were giving away a Shohei Ohtani bobblehead tied to Ohtani’s own three-homer postseason game in 2025. (espn.com) The game also swung hard before the finish. Texas led 7-6 after a Corey Seager three-run homer and a late rally, but Muncy erased the deficit with one swing in the bottom of the ninth. (espn.com) (sports.yahoo.com) For the Dodgers, the result was one more early-season win. For Muncy, it was a four-hit night that ended with a curtain call and a place in the club’s record book.
