Max Muncy finished a rare 3‑home‑run night, delivering a two‑out, ninth‑inning walk‑off that lifted Dodgers past Texas 8‑7. The victory snapped the Rangers' three‑game winning streak and ended a season‑long series of World Series titles. Edwin Diaz surrendered three runs in the ninth, his first blown save in six appearances, allowing the Dodgers to rally.

Muncy’s power burst included solo shots in the second and fourth innings off starter Kumar Rocker, and a 401‑foot drive to right in the ninth. He moved into sixth place on the Dodgers’ all‑time home‑run list, passing 212 career homers. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani extended his on‑base streak to 44 games, eclipsing Ichiro Suzuki for the longest by a Japanese‑born player.

The win keeps Los Angeles at the top of the NL West, while the Rangers fall behind in a division that has seen three consecutive World Series champions. Muncy’s three‑homer night cements his status as a clutch power hitter, and the Dodgers’ recovery from a blown save underlines their resilience as the season unfolds.
