The Dodgers scored eight runs in the second inning to chase Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara and went on to win 9-6 for their third consecutive victory.

It’s not happening much now. Muncy capped an eight-run second inning Friday night with his third homer in three games, a towering three-run shot that traveled 424 feet to center field in a 9-6 win over the Miami Marlins in Chavez Ravine. “There are times when I’ll get in a bad stretch and I’m swinging at everything up there, not laying off pitches I should lay off,” Muncy said after Friday night’s game. “For me, that’s always been the indicator” of when to be more aggressive or more selective at the plate. “I had to make a minor adjustment to my swing.”“The game is evolving, and you’ve got to evolve with it,” he said.

“It’s not so much just pitching up in zone, it’s that every pitcher, their fastball has a lot of rise on it now, a lot of vertical movement, and that’s something that hasn’t been there even going back to last year,” Muncy said. “It’s changing quick, and we have to change our swings to adapt to it.”
