Max Muncy led the Los Angeles Dodgers with three hits, including a first-inning home run off Scott Kazmir, in a 6-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Muncy’s homer landed in McCovey Cove, marking a career third time he’s found the water outside Oracle Park.
That tied Muncy with Carlos Delgado and Adam LaRoche for the most home runs by an opposing player to land in McCovey Cove. “That’s awesome. I actually didn’t know that, so that’s pretty cool,” Muncy said when informed of the statistic.
His latest blast gave Walker Buehler an early lead and helped the Dodgers extend their winning streak to six games, but it was hardly the most memorable instance of finding the water beyond the right-field wall.
