What happened: Max Muncy hit a two-run home run that gave the Dodgers the lead in Saturday's game against the Yankees. The ball landed in the second deck, according to MLB's own account of the swing.

Why it matters: The homer flips the game in Los Angeles' favor against a Yankees club that sent Gerrit Cole to the mound. Muncy has been at the center of Dodgers injury news for much of the season, making a clean, healthy swing at this stage notable on its own.

What to watch: Watch whether the Dodgers bullpen can protect the lead Muncy's homer created as the game continues.
