The Dodgers are back in Los Angeles after taking the first two games of the NLDS as they attempt to punch their ticket to the NLCS on Wednesday. All the success against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park came mostly without the help of Max Muncy.
Muncy had a very quiet Wild Card series against the Cincinnati Reds, tallying just one hit over the two game series. He didn’t start either of the first two games against the Phillies with the Dodgers having faced left-handers Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo. The playing time was indeed sparse, but Muncy was on board with whatever plans Dave Roberts had in store during the two games in Philadelphia, notes Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.
