The Los Angeles Dodgers finished off a 7-1 road trip against the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants, and received contributions throughout from Max Muncy as he tries to rebound from a slow start to the season.
Muncy hit a home run on Monday, which was the 18th of his career against the Giants and seventh at Oracle Park, which tied him with Fernando Tatis Jr. for most by a visiting player.
After struggling for most of the season, Muncy has been swinging the bat better of late, collecting at least one hit in seven of his last nine games. He was not in the lineup for the middle games of the series with the Giants, but returned Thursday and hit an opposite-field double.
The two-time All-Star credited the recent success to making some adjustments to his swing during the Dodgers’ road trip, via SportsNet LA:
“It’s been good. We made a couple changes. This whole year has been trying to get my elbow to work the way it needs to work. My body has been overcompensating for it, so we made some changes in the swing and kind of how I’m setting up. It’s just a different way to get my shoulders down and my elbow to work properly. It’s been a good road trip.”
