Max Muncy led the Los Angeles Dodgers’ offense with two solo home runs in their 7–1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on a snowy Friday night at Coors Field.
Baseball was ready to be played at Coors Field after five hours of snow removal and field preparation by the impressive Rockies grounds crew before first pitch. The cold never bothered Max Muncy anyway. The Dodgers slugger went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, two runs, and three RBI.
Every hitter in the lineup sans Teoscar Hernandez had a base hit on the night. After a day off at the plate, but not the mound, Shohei Ohtani collected his first base hit since Sunday to extend his on-base streak to 49 games. The lead-off double was scorched down the right field line on two strikes.
The Dodgers got on the board first thanks to a Will Smith sac fly. Muncy, bundled up under his jersey for warmth, doubled the score in the next inning with a huge home run 435-feet over the center field wall. Max Muncy connects for a long home run!
