The third ball landed in right center, and the game was over.
Max Muncy had already hit two home runs — one to right center, one to left center — and the Dodgers and Rangers were tied when he came to the plate for the fifth time. He hit a fly ball to right center. Los Angeles 8, Texas 7. Walk-off.
The first three-homer game of 2026.
Three home runs in one game is not one swing repeated three times. It is five plate appearances across a full game, against a staff that has seen your timing, in a game close enough that the score rides every at-bat. Muncy's scorecard tells the whole night: home run to right center, home run to left center, a force out — Josh Smith to Corey Seager, Freeman out at second — a sharp single to first baseman Jake Burger, and then the third home run, back to right center.
Three home runs, three RBI. The Dodgers won by one run.
He finished with four hits, three for extra bases — every extra-base hit a home run. His best contact came off the bat at 106.5 mph; his deepest ball traveled 401 feet. And the last one carried far enough to end it.
<!-- the mentor passed it with notes: - Fact pass clean: every number (3 HR, 3 RBI, 4 hits, 106.5 mph, 401 ft, the walk-off, the force-out sequence, the single to Burger) matches the pack exactly, no invented figures. - The inferred 'tied' state before the walk-off is a legitimate deduction from the given RBI-count/score-margin/walk-off facts, not a new number — acceptable. - Meets Andy's Moments ruling: explains what a three-homer game IS and why it's hard ('not one swing repeated three times... a staff that has seen your timing') rather than reciting a bare box score. - No biography/human-thread inserted — correct per the 2026-08-02 ruling that Moments carry no person-background. - No falsifiable closer — correct per the 2026-07-24 ruling that a Moment owes no receipt for an undisputed event. - No overclaim, no grading, no MLB-clip attribution issue; register is clean, under word cap, no banned tics. --> <!-- THE PACK — every number here is off the reconciled card for this game and nothing else. The writer does not recall a stat; if it is not here it does not exist. Max Muncy hit three home runs the 1st three-homer game of 2026 Three home runs by one man in one game. MEANS: — - home runs: 3 - RBI: 3 - hits: 4 - opponent: Texas Rangers - hardest hit: 106.5 mph - longest: 401 ft - also: four hits, three for extra bases - also: a walk-off home run -->
