Clubs two homers in victory
Muncy went 3-for-3 with two home runs, four total RBI and two walks in a 7-1 win against the White Sox on Saturday.
Analysis
Chicago's pitching staff was unable to get Muncy out Saturday, as the slugger reached base in all five of his plate appearances with two long balls. Muncy came into the contest without a homer through 11 contests in June, though he batted a healthy .286 during that span. The 35-year-old is putting together a strong case for an All-Star bid; among NL third basemen, he ranks first with a .912 OPS, .375 OBP, 46 runs and 16 homers while adding 28 RBI through 65 games.

Perfect at plate Tuesday
Muncy went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in a 12-3 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Analysis
Muncy had no trouble with Pirates ace Paul Skenes, logging three hits against the star hurler, including a double and a run-scoring single. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled Muncy in the seventh frame after Los Angeles had grabbed a 10-run lead, but that decision appeared to be entirely to give the third baseman some extra rest. Muncy has been swinging the bat well of late, going 9-for-19 over his past six games. His overall .875 OPS would be his highest mark since 2021.
