Andy Pages\u2019 big night was nearly wasted by Edwin D\u00edaz\u2019s first blown save as the Dodgers closer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead, it all set up Max Muncy for some walk-off heroics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an 8-7 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday night, Muncy hit three home runs. The first opened the scoring. The second chipped away at a mid-game deficit. The last became the most memorable early moment of the Dodgers\u2019 hot start <\/a>to this season.<\/p>\n

After the Dodgers had built a three-run lead on the back of Pages\u2019 3-for-3, four-RBI showing, then squandered it when D\u00edaz allowed three runs in a stunning ninth-inning collapse, Muncy came up in the bottom half of the inning and saved the day with one swing \u2013\u2013 blasting a solo drive deep to right field for a walk-off win.<\/p>\n

The game shouldn\u2019t have required such dramatics, of course.<\/p>\n

When D\u00edaz entered in the ninth, the victory seemed well at hand.<\/p>\n
