Max Muncy’s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth capped off his second career three-run game, and it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers an 8-7 walkoff win over the Texas Rangers Friday night in Los Angeles.
Andy Pages homered and collected his fourth three-hit game of the season, and the Dodgers overcame the first blown save of the season from closer Edwin Diaz, who ended up being the winning pitcher.
The Dodgers won for the sixth time in seven games, notched their sixth comeback win this season and became the first team in Major League Baseball to reach 10 wins in 2026.
Pages continued his torrid start to the season with his team-leading fourth home of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Dodgers a 7-4 lead. Pages also hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 lead after they trailed 4-2.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on Muncy’s home run in the second inning. Then former Dodgers star Corey Seager hit a three-run home run to give Texas the lead.
Seager hit his second three-run home run against the Dodgers, with whom he was a two-time All-Star, National League Rookie of the Year, World Series and National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player.
Muncy’s second home run made it 3-2 for Texas in the fourth. Wyatt Langford homered off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow to make it 4-2 before Hyeseong Kim hit a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers.
Pages’ home run had the Dodgers in control going to the ninth, but Diaz gave up a two-run home run to Evan Carter and a tying single to Ezequiel Duran with two outs. That set the stage for Muncy’s winner off Rangers reliever Jacob Latz (0-1).
Prior to the game, the Dodgers held a moment of silence for the late Davey Lopes, who passed away earlier this week. Lopes was part of one of the most productive infields in major league history, the Dodgers’ second baseman for most of the 1970s and into the 80s.
