The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a hotly contested race for the National League West crown, but slugger Max Muncy will require a reprieve before he can return to action. Muncy left two straight games after being hit. He will not play in Sunday’s contest against the San Francisco Giants.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his 49th homer, Teoscar Hernández delivered a go-ahead two-run double in a six-run fifth inning after the Dodgers chased Giants starter Logan Webb, and NL West-leading Los Angeles rallied past San Francisco 13-7 on Saturday night.

The Giants’ 5-3 win against the D-backs on Tuesday night put a stop to a rough stretch for Ray. After three straight bad starts, Ray earned his first win since Sept. 18, putting together five strong innings. He has pitched against the Dodgers just once this season.

The San Francisco Giants were going for two straight wins over the Los Angeles Dodgers on a day in which opportunity was there to change the NL playoff race.
