Muncy got on base in 12 straight plate appearances

Dodgers infielder Max Muncy walked in each of his first three plate appearances then singled in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Mets on Thursday night at Citi Field. That gave him 12 straight times reaching base, a major league record for a single postseason.

It all started with a solo home run in the fifth inning in Game 2 at Dodger Stadium, giving the Dodgers their first run on Monday. He walked in each of his final two trips to the plate in that game.

In Game 3, Muncy tied a Dodgers record by reaching base five times, with three walks, a single, and a home run, the latter tying Muncy for the all-time franchise lead with 13 postseason homers.

“He really controls the zone well,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters at Citi Field earlier Thursday. “Last night was a clinic in how you conduct at-bats. I don’t think he swung at a ball all last night, which is pretty remarkable.”
