The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept for the first time this season after dropping a second consecutive game in extra innings to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The club is just 4-13 in their last 17 games since getting off to an MLB-best 13-2 start. “We’re absolutely frustrated,” Max Muncy said after Wednesday’s loss. “We’re way better than this. Period.”
While the Dodgers came up short in their series finale against the Cubs, it wasn’t due to a lack of effort on Muncy’s part, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and double.
The 30-year-old, like several of his teammates, had been mired in a lengthy slump that he just now is starting to break out of.
