The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a roll, winning six consecutive games entering play Wednesday and 13 of their last 15 overall since April 21.
During the span, the Dodgers have two separate winning streaks of six games. They are outscoring opponents, 97-30, and have hit an MLB-best 27 home runs over the 15-game stretch.
Max Muncy believes the last two weeks are an indicator of what the Dodgers are capable of, via Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:
“The last two weeks have been pretty special. It’s a good indicator of what this group is capable of,” Muncy said. “I think everyone in here would admit we let those two (losses) get away from us. But it’s been fun showing up every single day. I know everyone in this clubhouse enjoys it.”
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also believes the team has been playing well and is excelling in all facets of the game:
“We’re playing good baseball,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said simply. “Regardless of the team (the opponent), it’s still hard to win a Major League Baseball game. I think we’re just playing complete baseball … and we’re doing this very consistently. I didn’t realize it’s been 13 out of 15. It just seems like every night we come in and we’re getting a good start, we’re getting big hits, we’re taking good at-bats and winning ballgames. That’s a good formula.”
Muncy has been key to the Dodgers’ success of late as he is 6-for-12 with one double, four home runs and eight RBI over his last three games.
Aside from Muncy, the rest of the lineup has been swinging hot bats as well, with Freddie Freeman starting to heat up and Andy Pages providing a jolt to the bottom of the order.
Dodgers pitching has also been dominant, with Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto continuing to lead the way, and Walker Buehler recently returning from the 15-day injured list.
Max Muncy: Dodgers have been ‘sticking to their approach’ at the plate
After going through a slump in April, Muncy believes the Dodgers offense has been able to get back on track by staying true to their approach at the plate.
