Max Muncy's two home runs seal Dodgers' win over the Mets

American slugger Max Muncy hit two home runs — including a game-tying shot in the ninth inning — and Freddie Freeman followed with a go-ahead double in the 10th, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.

With the comeback, the Dodgers secured their 20th win of the season, overcoming a 4-1 lead they had built in the first inning. MLB noted that in the series opener on Monday, the Dodgers also tied the game in the ninth, but ultimately lost 4-3 in 10 innings after reliever Tanner Scott induced a game-ending groundout.

Meanwhile, the Houston Astros shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 3–0 at PNC Park, with Mexico’s Isaac Paredes sealing the win with a two-run homer in the ninth inning.

Paredes, 26, entered the game mired in a slump, with just two hits in his previous 26 at-bats

However, the Hermosillo, Mexico native remains on pace for one of his best MLB seasons, with 12 home runs and 34 RBIs through his first 59 games of 2025.

Houston improved to 33–27 on the season, holding second place in the American League West.
