Muncy Enters as Pinch Hitter, Delivers Go-Ahead Three-Run Homer
Max Muncy was not in the starting lineup but came off the bench and hit a go-ahead three-run home run against Antonio Senzatela.
Max Muncy was held out of the starting lineup but entered as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run home run off Antonio Senzatela. The blast was hit off a 100 mph fastball and is the second-hardest pitch Muncy has ever homered against. The homer was also his 131st at Dodger Stadium, passing Eric Karros for the all-time record at that venue. His bench role suggests a planned rest day or managed workload by the Dodgers.
