Max Muncy sets record for most home runs at Dodger Stadium
No one has hit more home runs at Dodger Stadium than Max Muncy. He set the new mark with a go-ahead blast against the Brewers.
Max Muncy etched his name into the record books on Thursday night, becoming the all-time home run leader at Dodger Stadium. The achievement came at a crucial juncture, as the Dodgers faced off against the Milwaukee Brewers in the first game of a pivotal four-game series. Entering the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, Muncy hit a powerful three-run homer over the right center field wall with two outs and the bases loaded.
This monumental blast propelled the Dodgers to a 4-2 lead and marked Muncy's 131st home run at Dodger Stadium, surpassing the previous record of 130 set by Eric Karros. The 35-year-old Muncy, who has spent 11 seasons in the majors and the past nine with the Dodgers, added this home run to his 23 this season, placing him second on the team's all-time home run list behind Shohei Ohtani's record-breaking 26.
This historic moment was not only significant for Muncy's career but also for the Dodgers' aspirations as they battled for the top spot in the National League and a playoff berth.
