Max Muncy’s torment means Reds/Dodgers series is on the line Sunday

Max Muncy took Luke Weaver deep in the Bottom of the 1st, a 2-run blast that put the Los Angeles Dodgers on the board first against the Cincinnati Reds. Later, Muncy took Weaver deep a second time, a solo-shot in the Bottom of the 6th that proved to be the difference in the 3-2 game.

Weaver, to his credit, allowed just those 2 hits on the day, a vast improvement over his mostly unfortunate body of work so far this season with the Reds. And while the Reds managed to battle back to a 2-2 tie with the Dodgers briefly, the end result was yet another loss in a 1-run game - their 5th such loss since the season began again aftter the All Star break.
