Dodgers’ offensive power: Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy shine in Denver
The Los Angeles offense returned to its best version at Coors Field, where Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy led a resounding 11-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The Los Angeles team, which was looking to regain consistency with the bat, dominated the game from the opening innings, reaching a 10-1 lead after six innings of play.
The Ohtani show and the Muncy missile
Shohei Ohtani was once again the center of attention by hitting two home runs, raising his personal tally to 29 homers and 78 RBIs in the 2026 season. For his part, Max Muncy starred in one of the most memorable hits of the campaign by connecting on a three-run homer that traveled 461 feet, setting the record for the longest distance for a Dodgers player this year.
Ohtani’s performance reaffirms his candidacy for the National League Most Valuable Player award, highlighting his ability to define games with his batting power.
Dominance at Coors Field
- Historic streak: Ohtani extended his hitting streak to 21 consecutive games at the Colorado stadium, maintaining a .413 batting average at that venue.
- Duel of compatriots: The star hitter once again prevailed against Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, accumulating 7 hits in 11 at-bats against him in his Major League career, including four home runs.
- Personal achievement: This game marked the second time this season that Ohtani has hit multiple home runs, totaling 25 such games in his professional career.
Although the Rockies tried to react in the final part of the game by scoring four runs, the lead built by the Los Angeles offense proved insurmountable. With this victory, the Dodgers send a clear message about their responsiveness and consolidate themselves as one of the most dangerous teams in the league when their attack manages to click.
