Rather than let a leaky bullpen and a botched transfer spoil their evening, the Dodgers battled back to cue up "I Love L.A." for the second night in a row. Max Muncy's bases-loaded RBI single walked off the Royals, 5-4, for a victory in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, his second big hit with the bases loaded in as many games. The back-and-forth win sealed a series victory for the Dodgers, who entered the three-game set having dropped three in a row. Manager Dave Roberts wanted to see his team play with more urgency amid its recent skid, and the Dodgers did just that in the first two games against the Royals. "I think the results speak for themselves," Muncy said. "I think one of the big things for us was trying to get everyone back focused on what's happening today and not carrying each day over to the next one. There was a lot of us doing that, myself included, and it's just hard to play when you're letting the days kind of compound on you like that. You just have to keep moving forward."
