Max Muncy to participate in Home Run Derby
The Dodgers’ versatile home run leader Max Muncy has powered his way into the T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday, July 16 at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. Muncy is the #3 seed and will face off against Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Báez, who is the #6 seed.
