Max Muncy 7 RBIs Blowout: Dodgers Obliterate Yankees 18-2 in Historic Beatdown
DODGER STADIUM EXPLODED WITH CHEERSÂ Saturday night as Max Muncy turned the field into his personal fireworks show. The Los Angeles Dodgers absolutely torched the New York Yankees 18-2 in a jaw-dropping display of power, precision, and pure West Coast domination. The star of the night? None other than Max Muncy, who smashed not one, but TWO three-run homers, racking up a mind-blowing seven RBIs to tie his career best.
If you’re a Yankees fan… look away. This was the Dodgers’ biggest-ever run total against the Bronx Bombers, and honestly, it didn’t even look fair.
LA Rips Yankees Apart Early and Never Looks Back
It started fast. Real fast. Will Warren, the Yankees starter, probably had flashbacks of Little League nightmares after the Dodgers made him throw 39 pitches — in just the first inning! Will Smith, Max Muncy, Michael Conforto, and Tommy Edman all got involved, with LA storming out to a 4-0 lead. And that was just the beginning.
By the second inning, things got ugly. Muncy crushed a 400-foot missile for his 200th career home run. It was so loud in Dodger Stadium, it felt like a playoff game. Warren was yanked, and LA wasn’t done. Edman slapped another RBI double, and Ha-Seong Kim blasted a 412-foot bomb off Brent Headrick to make it 10-0. TEN TO ZERO. And the second inning wasn’t even over.
Dodgers Humiliate Yankees – A Historic Night at the Plate
The numbers? Insane.
- 21 total hits by the Dodgers
- 18 total runs — a franchise record vs the Yankees
- Five home runs by five different Dodgers
- Muncy with 7 RBIs — tying his career best
- Dalton Rushing’s first MLB home run, a 3-run rocket in the eighth
- Shohei Ohtani & Kim shared a bow, like something out of an anime
You could feel the energy radiating from every corner of the stadium. From fans to players, this was one of those nights you’ll never forget.
Landon Knack: Quietly Brilliant
While the bats were booming, starter Landon Knack quietly dominated on the mound. He tossed six strong innings, giving up just one run and striking out six. It wasn’t flashy — it was efficient, clean, and totally in control. He did his job like a pro, letting the offense do the talking.
Even Kiké Hernández got in on the pitching action, finishing off the Yankees in the ninth with a 1-hit inning. Talk about a party!
Defensive Gems Too? Oh Yeah, Dodgers Did That Too
Let’s talk about Ha-Seong Kim again, because his glove was just as hot as his bat. In the third inning, he made a leaping grab on a Jorbit Vivas liner, then dove head-first to double up Austin Wells at second. The Dodgers challenged the original safe call and won it — because of course they did.
Even Aaron Judge, who tried to give the Yankees a spark with two solo homers, got caught trying to stretch a single into a double. Andy Pages fired a bullet to Tommy Edman, who tagged Judge out at second in the seventh. You just can’t run on the Dodgers tonight.
Rookie Dalton Rushing Gets His Moment
Imagine hitting your first big league homer in front of a roaring Dodger crowd during an 18-2 demolition of the Yankees. That’s what rookie Dalton Rushing did in the eighth — a three-run blast off position player Pablo Reyes that sent the stadium into a frenzy. Pure magic.
Yankees Fans Left Speechless… Again
New York has now been outscored 26-7 in the first two games of this World Series rematch. It’s starting to feel like déjà vu — because remember, the Dodgers beat the Yankees in five games last year to claim their eighth world championship. This just feels like a repeat — but louder.
Aaron Judge may have had his moments (two solo shots), but no one else in pinstripes showed up. Will Warren took the loss, giving up eight earned runs in just 1.1 innings. The Yankees bullpen didn’t fare much better, surrendering homers left and right.
Shohei Ohtani: Quiet but Present
Shohei didn’t go deep tonight, but his mere presence in the lineup gave LA swagger. He clapped for his teammates, nodded in respect to Kim’s home run, and remained the heartbeat of this Dodgers squad. The big swings will come, but tonight belonged to Muncy, Kim, and the rookies.
What’s Next: Series Finale Showdown
We’re not done yet. The Yankees try to salvage something in the series finale Sunday. Ryan Yarbrough (2-0, 3.06 ERA) gets the start for New York, facing off against Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-3, 1.97 ERA). If Yamamoto’s dialed in? Watch out.
This could be a clean sweep.
Dodger Stadium Was ELECTRIC
This wasn’t just a win — it was a message. The Dodgers are rolling, and if this is any preview of October, LA fans better start planning the parade route. From Max Muncy’s monster night to defensive gems and rookie thrills, Saturday’s blowout felt like something bigger.
Dodger blue is shining bright — and the Yankees? Just another team in the way.
LET’S GO DODGERS.
