Los Angeles Dodgers player Max Muncy made history by becoming the first player to reach base in 12 consecutive plate appearances during a single postseason. This incredible achievement took place during Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets.
Muncy’s impressive streak included three walks and a single in his first four plate appearances of the game. After the game, Muncy expressed his surprise at this record-breaking feat, stating that his main focus is on getting on base to give his teammates the opportunity to bring him home and contribute to the team’s success.
Although the streak came to an end when Muncy struck out in the eighth inning, the Dodgers secured a decisive 10-2 victory over the Mets, putting them ahead 3-1 in the series. With this win, the Dodgers are now just one victory away from claiming their 25th pennant, the most in NL history.
Muncy attributed the team’s success to the strong bond and camaraderie within the clubhouse, emphasizing the importance of players supporting each other and working together towards a common goal. His extraordinary performance, which included two singles, two home runs, and eight walks against the Mets, showcased his discipline and skill at the plate.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commended Muncy’s exceptional performance, highlighting his impressive ability to lay off pitches outside the strike zone. Despite hitting .232 with 15 home runs and 48 RBIs during the regular season, Muncy’s postseason success has been a driving force behind the Dodgers’ playoff run.
As the Dodgers continue their quest for a World Series title, Muncy’s record-breaking achievement serves as a testament to his talent and determination on the field. His ability to consistently reach base has been a game-changer for the team, providing them with the offensive firepower needed to compete at the highest level of the game. With Muncy leading the way, the Dodgers are poised for success as they look to secure their spot in the World Series and bring home another championship to Los Angeles.
