Max Muncy breaks records
The tone of the game was set by Max Muncy in the third inning. With a powerful swing, he connected on a three-run home run that traveled a distance of 461 feet. This hit not only extended the lead, but also established itself as the longest home run recorded by a Dodgers player so far in the 2026 season.
Our team’s ability to react was key. We needed a game like this to regain confidence in our hitting and show what we are capable of when we are all connected.
Shohei Ohtani: The owner of Coors Field
Shohei Ohtani once again demonstrated why he is the top candidate for the National League Most Valuable Player award. The Japanese star hit two home runs during the game, reaching the mark of 29 homers and 78 runs batted in for the season.
- Ohtani extended his hitting streak to 21 consecutive games at Coors Field.
- During this span, the Japanese player has recorded a .413 batting average, with nine home runs and 24 RBIs at the Denver stadium.
- His dominance against pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano continues, accumulating 7 hits in 11 at-bats with four home runs against his compatriot.
The second home run of the night for Ohtani was a special moment, caught in the air by his teammate Kyle Hurt in the bullpen, in a play that will be remembered by the fans in attendance.
A necessary boost for Los Angeles
This victory represents a turning point for the Dodgers, who were looking to break out of an offensive slump. With 11 runs scored, the team demonstrated that their lineup remains one of the most dangerous in the Major Leagues. Despite Colorado’s efforts to close the gap in the final stretch, the solidity shown by the Los Angeles offense during the first six innings was enough to secure the result.
For Ohtani, this day marked his twenty-fifth multi-home run game of his MLB career, reaffirming his constant impact on the diamond and his ability to tip the scales in his team’s favor every time he steps up to the plate.
