Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went 2-for-3 in a Monday victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
It was a good day at the plate for Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman on Monday. Muncy went 2-for-3 as the Dodgers scored a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Cactus League play.
Antoine Kelly picked up the victory for the Dodgers and Ryder Ryan notched his first Cactus League save.
After Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, Dalton Rushing's RBI single in the top of the third brought Muncy home. That tied things up at 1-1.
A Jake Bauers home run put the Brewers back in the lead at 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Dodgers, though, were not going to lie down without a fight.
In the top of the seventh, Ryan Fitzgerald's two-out RBI single once again tied things up at 2-2. And, in the top of the eighth, Seby Zavala's RBI single put Los Angeles on top 3-2. Charles Davalan grounded into a run-scoring double play, giving the Dodgers a 4-2 lead.
Milwaukee added a run in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough to pull off a comeback.
The Dodgers are now 11-6 in Cactus League play.
