Redemption and Rivalry: How Max Muncy and Tanner Scott Turned the Tide Against the Mets
But lately, after a woeful opening month on both sides of the ball, the good (his bat) has been outweighing the bad (his glove).
In the Dodgers‘ 6-5 win against the New York Mets on Tuesday, such a duality came into plain view.

In the first inning, Muncy punctuated a four-run ambush of Mets starter Tylor Megill with a two-run home run deep to right field. In the fifth, he committed a costly error at third base that fueled New York’s go-ahead two-run rally. Yet, in the ninth, the veteran slugger capitalized upon his chance for redemption, clobbering his second long ball of the night to tie the score — and set up Freddie Freeman for a walk-off double (with a lot of help from Brandon Nimmo’s poor outfield defense) in the bottom of the 10th.
