Dodgers Win 8-7 on Muncy's Three Homers vs Rangers

Published 11 April 2026

Max Muncy hit three home runs, including a two-out solo shot in the ninth inning that sealed an 8-7 walk-off victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Texas Rangers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. The dramatic finish came after Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz blew his first save of the season, allowing three runs to tie the game and setting the stage for Muncy's heroics against reliever Jacob Latz.

The contest between two recent World Series champions unfolded as a power display, with 15 combined home runs across the game highlighting the offensive firepower of both teams. Muncy opened the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning off Rangers starter Kumar Rocker, giving Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. Texas responded quickly in the third, as former Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager launched a three-run homer to center field off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow, putting the Rangers ahead 3-1. Seager, who won World Series and National League Championship Series MVP honors during his time with Los Angeles, has now hit two three-run homers against his old team.

Muncy pulled the Dodgers within one with his second solo homer in the fourth, but Wyatt Langford extended Texas's advantage to 4-2...
