The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Saturday night.

The Dodgers scored two runs in the first and one in the sixth in the victory and all of the runs were driven in by Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy.

Not only did Muncy bring in all three of the runs, he also had all the Dodgers hits (two), which helped him accomplish something that's never been done before in team history.

Per ESPN Stats & Info:

Max Muncy's 2 home runs were the Dodgers' only hits in their 3-2 win over the Reds Saturday. 

According to@EliasSports, Muncy is the 1st Dodger player since RBI became official in 1920 to record all of the team's hits and drive in all of the team's runs in a win (min. 2 hits).

It's been a down year for Muncy average-wise, as he's hitting just .199 this season, but he has been productive from a power sense. He's got 27 home runs and 70 RBI and could break his season-high, which was 36 homers back in 2021. He's also posted a .331 on-base percentage.

He's in his eight year in the big leagues with the Athletics and Dodgers and helped the Dodgers win the World Series back in the 2020 pandemic-shortened season.

After the win, the Dodgers have a 3.0 game lead on the San Francisco Giants in the National League West. They will enter Sunday at 59-44 overall.

They'll play the Reds again Sunday at 4:10 p.m. ET as Michael Grove (LAD) starts against Graham Ashcraft.
