Max Muncy’s two homers make up for his error in Dodgers’ win over Mets
Max Muncy’s 2025 season has been nothing if not enigmatic. But lately, after a woeful opening month on both sides of the ball, the good (his bat) has been outweighing the bad (his glove). In the Dodgers’ 6-5 win against the New York Mets on Tuesday, such a duality came into plain view. In the…
