Muncy Sets Record, Dodgers Lead NLCS 3-1

Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers set a new MLB postseason record by reaching base in 12 consecutive plate appearances, surpassing the previous record held by Billy Hatcher and David Ortiz. This streak began in Game 2 of the NLCS and continued through Game 4 against the New York Mets, where Muncy demonstrated his exceptional batting skills with two home runs, one single, and eight walks. Muncy's impressive performance has played a crucial role in the Dodgers' success, contributing significantly alongside Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, who also shone with key hits in Game 4. The Dodgers, leveraging their lineup depth, now lead the series 3-1, inching closer to their first NL pennant since 2020. Walker Buehler's strong pitching performance in Game 3 further bolstered the team's momentum, showcasing the Dodgers' overall resilience and potential for a World Series run.
