Los Angeles — Max Muncy hit three home runs, including a two-out, ninth-inning walk-off, to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-7 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Andy Pages contributed a key two-run double earlier in the sixth inning that produced the go-ahead runs. The game featured a six-inning start by Tyler Glasnow and a ninth-inning rally by the Rangers that tied the score before Muncy’s final swing. Dodgers improved their early-season record and momentum, while the Rangers’ late-inning scoring underscored bullpen pressure; team records and player milestones were updated after the game.
