Offensive power: Dodgers crush Rockies with Ohtani and Muncy exhibition
The Los Angeles offense returned to its best version at Coors Field, orchestrating a resounding 11-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. On a night where the Angelino bats regained their power, Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy stole the spotlight with powerful performances that made the difference from the very first innings.
The Dodgers, looking to shake off a recent offensive inconsistency, took early control of the game. By the sixth inning, the scoreboard already favored the visitors with a comfortable 10-1 lead, which allowed them to manage the rest of the contest with total peace of mind despite the Rockies’ late reaction.
Max Muncy hits the longest home run of 2026
Before Ohtani’s show reached its peak, Max Muncy took it upon himself to break the game open in the third inning. With a powerful swing, Muncy connected for a three-run home run that traveled 461 feet, setting a new distance record for the Dodgers so far in the 2026 season.
Muncy’s performance not only boosted the score, but served as a catalyst for the rest of the lineup to regain the confidence needed to punish Colorado’s pitching throughout the evening.
Shohei Ohtani: Absolute dominance in Denver
The stellar Shohei Ohtani once again demonstrated why he is the top candidate for the National League Most Valuable Player award. The Japanese player hit two home runs in the game, reaching his 29th home run of the campaign and raising his RBI total to 78.
- Personal duel: Ohtani maintains remarkable dominance over his compatriot Tomoyuki Sugano, recording 7 hits in 11 at-bats, including four home runs in direct matchups.
- Historic streak: With his performance this Monday, the Japanese player extended his streak of consecutive games with at least one hit at Coors Field to 21, where he holds a .413 batting average.
This multi-homer game marks the second multi-home run performance of the season for Ohtani, solidifying his position as the offensive anchor for an Angels squad that, with this victory, sends a message of authority on the road. The Dodgers proved that, when their lineup clicks, they are capable of dominating any opponent with an explosive and consistent offense.
