Max Muncy hit a grand slam and a three-run home run as the Dodgers ended their three-game losing streak in a 9-1 win over the San Francisco Giants.
’ slugger added a “back step” to his hitting motion, a small, left-footed tap that synced up his mechanics and put his mind at ease.Advertisement
The result served as a sigh of relief for the team, preventing an early slip below .500 coming off a rough weekend trip to Arizona, and a massive exhale for Muncy, who let a five-strikeout debacle on opening day snowball into a mentally taxing slump that impacted his mechanics. But Muncy wasn’t done tormenting the Giants , clobbering a first-pitch grand slam in the seventh that marked his 23rd career home run against the team — the most he’s hit against a single club.“Success in general is fun,” said Muncy, who has done much of that damage at Oracle Park. “But I guess it does mean a little bit more when it’s here.”
The return of the back-step proved to be his answer, coming to the realization after consultation with the club’s hitting coaches and long sessions of video review in recent days.
