Max Muncy Home Run, Phillies Baserunning Blunder Lift Dodgers to Victory
- On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 at Citizens Bank Park following an 80-minute rain delay. Max Muncy's two-run homer provided the winning margin.
- Zack Wheeler and Justin Wrobleski faced off after Wheeler declined a late All-Star invitation that went to Wrobleski instead, adding competitive context to their matchup. The 26-year-old lefty Wrobleski was pitching in Philadelphia for the second time in a week.
- Wrobleski struck out seven and allowed five hits over 6 1/3 innings, while Muncy jumped on a first-pitch cutter and drove it 421 feet into the trees beyond center field for his decisive two-run homer in the fourth.
- Philadelphia's ninth-inning rally collapsed when runners at second and third with one out resulted in a game-ending double play; Tanner Scott secured his 15th save for the Dodgers. The defensive execution ended the Phillies' comeback attempt.
- The three-game series concludes Wednesday night with Phillies RHP Aaron Nola opposing Dodgers LHP Eric Lauer . The finale sets up a contrasting pitching duel after Tuesday's dramatic finish.
