Max Muncy clubbed his 25th home run of the season Tuesday as the Dodgers fell to the Phillies.

It was a mammoth shot in the second inning off of Vince Velasquez that was measured at 440 feet. Muncy also drew a walk and scored an additional run. Since Muncy's Dodgers debut on April 17 last season, he's hit 60 home runs. Only Christian Yelich and Mike Trout have more dingers over that span.

Max Muncy drew a go-ahead walk with the bases loaded in the 12th inning on Sunday night, propelling the Dodgers to victory over the Red Sox.

The Dodgers loaded the bases in the 12th in a very unconventional manner. Joc Pederson led off the frame with a walk, then Cody Bellinger reached on baserunner interference. A.J. Pollock then singled, setting the stage or Muncy's clutch base on balls. It's actually the fourth bases loaded walk that he has drawn this season -- the most in MLB. He finished the day 0-for-4 and is now slashing .264/.365/.528 with 23 homers and 61 RBI.

Max Muncy has been added to the National League roster for the All Star game in Cleveland.

He will replace Anthony Rendon, who is sitting out with general body soreness. Muncy has a .273 batting average with 21 home runs and 60 RBI through 87 games. The 28-year-old corner infielder had a huge breakout in 2018 and is following it up with another strong campaign in 2019. His OPS has fallen from .973 to .910 but his production has improved in the counting stats.

Max Muncy hit his 21st home run of the season in Thursday's win over the Padres.

Padres starter Dinelson Lamet may be throwing harder these days, but he'll need better location than the fat 96-mph offering he threw to Muncy in the second inning. Muncy knew what to do with it, depositing it into the seats in right field for a solo shot. Along with his 21 homers, Muncy has 59 RBI and 55 runs scored to go with a .276/.379/.543 line as the approach the end of the season's first half.
