The two-time All-Star now has 4 multi-homer games this season, all in the last month. Wednesday marked the third time Muncy had 6 or more RBI in a game this year.<\/p>\n<p>The 10th-year veteran is making up for a slow start in which he went homer-less over the first month of the season. Muncy has slowly been heating up. After producing a .684 OPS in April, he posted an .851 OPS in May. And he\u2019s been on an absolute tear in June.<\/p>\n<p>Entering Wednesday\u2019s matchup against the Rockies, Muncy was slashing .317\/.457\/.603 this month. He now has 6 home runs, 20 RBI and 22 runs scored in 22 June games. The hot streak has raised his batting average 30 points as he\u2019s now hitting .250 with an .820 OPS on the season. Muncy has 12 home runs, 51 RBI and 2.5 bWAR in 76 games.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers have also been hot of late. After dominating the division all season, the San Francisco Giants pulled into a tie for first place with LA on June 13. The Dodgers responded by winning nine of their next 11 games. Los Angeles won its series against the Giants 2-1 and took three of four games against the San Diego Padres in that span.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers took back control of the division with the hot streak. After beating the Rockies Wednesday, LA has a 5.5 game lead over the Giants and the Padres, who are tied for second place in the NL West.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dodgers are on a roll as Max Muncy racked up 13 RBI over the team&#8217;s 3-game winning streak, helping LA retake control of the NL West&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
