Max Muncy seemed to unleash the frustration of a month with the swing on Wednesday, sending a 107.7 mph 433 feet trip on the central field wall for his first home run of the season in the victory of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“It’s not easy,” said Muncy, when asked how a routine has been the first month of the season. “It is not easy for me or my family. It is a privilege to play in Los Angeles under this pressure, it is something that I have always excited, but it does not mean that it is easy. It has been a difficult month.”
Muncy, 34, entered the final of the series with an average .180, PAHO of .531, without homers and four races promoted in their first 28 games, miserable power numbers for a toleter who had averaged 32 homers per year since 2018-2023.
But he began to find his blow to the batting cage during the weekend and obtained a small jacket of confidence with his third game of multiple hits in the victory on Monday night.
Then, Muncy sponsored in a fast ball from Cal Quantrill in the second entrance on Wednesday and was rewarded with a massive shower of sunflower seeds, courtesy of the right gardener Teoscar Hernández and the barley and five.

“That was huge for me, it was almost a bit emotional,” said Muncy. “This club house is very tight, very close, and everyone cares for each other. We all want to win, and so that we win, everyone must click.”
The crime has been clicking this week. The Dodgers, who extended their streak of victories to five, had 17 hits, including three triples, one day after accumulating 18 hits in a 15-2 victory.
Mookie Betts connected a two racing single in the third inning and a triple of two races in the sixth, Freddie Freeman crowned a sixth of four races with a homer of two races, and Hernández and the batter No. 9 Austin Barnes had three blows.
The outbreak supported a strong effort of the right Tony Gonsolin, who gave three races and six hits, struck out nine and did not walk in six tickets to win the victory in his first start from Tommy John’s surgery in August 2023.
Gonsolin, who missed The First Month of this Season Because of Back Tightness, Indulted 17 Swinging Strikes Among His 77 Pitches, Effective Mixing A Four-Seam Fastball That Backed 92.6 mph with His 87 Fastball, 84 mph slider, 84 mph slide, 84 m. Slider, 87 Fast Slider, 87 FAST BLIDER, 87 FAST BLIDER, 87 FAST BLIDER, 87 FAST BLIDER, 87 FAST BLIDER, 87 FAST BLIDALLL, 87 FAST BLIDERBALL ALLEBALLS.
“It feels good to return to the mound,” said Gonsolin. “Simply go out and do my job and have fun, I think that was the ultimate goal.”
Gonsolin, an All-Star when he was 16-1 with an effectiveness of 2.14 in 2022, said he did not feel nervous when he took the mound for the first time in 20 months.
“Tony has a different brain,” said Manager Dave Roberts. “You can take that in the way you want. I think he has a lot of confidence in who is now as a person, as a ball player, and the moment will not become too big for him. It was as if this were his first exit at Hower Housed Good.
Gonsolin delivered a two-run homer to Kyle Stowers in the fourth entrance and a double RBI to Stowers in the sixth, but struck out Connor Norby looking at an 87 mph slide control to finish the sixth entrance and preserve a 4-3 advantage.

“I have faced it a lot in my career, and it is not a fun shift, especially when it is hitting the curve ball (of the first launch),” Freeman said, the former Atlanta Braves star on Gonsolin.
“It is really difficult as a batter if he is doing that, because then you have the heater up, it gives off, then the divisor below. I had everything working for the first time in two years. Being in a mound of major leagues and doing so was very impressive.”
With first -line initiators Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow in the injured list due to the inflammation of the shoulder, Gonsolin’s return gave a very necessary impulse to the rotation of the Dodgers.
And if Muncy can build Wednesday’s homer, it would be an impulse at the end of an alignment that does not have a very productive leg.
“When you are a battery of power and you hit many home runs every year, and it is a bone, what, 28, 29 games, and he still had one … Subconsusus, he could press a bit to try to get that first,” Freeman said, he said, said or said or muncidero.
“I know he’s going through the leg, trying to get that first home run, make his swing correct. He is working very hard. So for him to see some results after all hard work, luckily floods open to Max.”
