Max Muncy Sets Dodgers Postseason Home Run Record as L.A. Takes 2-0 NLCS Lead

The milestone highlights how regular postseason chances with Los Angeles have shaped his career.

Overview

  • In Game 2, Muncy hit a 412-foot solo shot to center off Freddy Peralta in the sixth inning to extend the lead to 3-1.
  • The blast was his 14th postseason homer for Los Angeles, breaking a tie with Justin Turner and Corey Seager.
  • The Dodgers won 5-1 in Milwaukee to move ahead 2-0 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.
  • The record-setter came in Muncy's 70th playoff game for the team, and he also holds their postseason mark with 60 walks.
  • One night earlier, a near grand slam instead became an unusual 8-6-2 double play after a wall bounce handled by Sal Frelick.
