BREAKING: Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy has just made history by hitting his 14th career postseason home run, setting a new franchise record during Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers on October 17, 2023. Muncy’s impressive 412-foot blast over the center-field wall in the sixth inning not only broke the tie he held with Justin Turner and Corey Seager but also extended the Dodgers’ lead to 3-1.
The Dodgers ultimately triumphed with a 5-1 victory, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Muncy expressed his gratitude, saying, “It means a lot to me… to break that record is kind of huge for me.” This achievement highlights Muncy’s significant role in a franchise rich with history and success.
This homer marks Muncy’s 70th postseason game with the Dodgers, a testament to his consistent presence in October baseball. In comparison, Turner played 86 postseason games for Los Angeles from 2014 to 2022, while Seager appeared in 61 games from 2015 to 2021. Muncy’s record-breaking moment comes just days after he nearly set the team record during Game 1, when a deep drive to center field turned into an unusual double play.
Reflecting on his playoff experience, Muncy noted, “The biggest thing is it speaks to the fact that I’ve had a chance to play in so many postseason games… that’s always been the most important thing to me.” His determination to chase a World Series title remains a driving force behind his performance.
The Dodgers will look to capitalize on this momentum as they prepare for Game 3 of the NLCS, with fans eagerly anticipating more historic moments from Muncy and the team. Stay tuned for updates as this thrilling series unfolds.
