It took a little while, but the Dodgers found their offense late on Sunday, tying the game in a wild eighth inning, then winning 7-4 on a three-run walk-off home run by Max Muncy in the ninth to take two out of three against the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
Albert Pujols opened the ninth with a leadoff single off J.B. Bukauskas, then was pinch-run for by Zach Reks, who was just called up Saturday. Zach McKinstry sacrificed Reks into scoring position, then Mookie Betts ran a 3-1 count before Arizona decided to intentionally walked him.

Max Muncy s last swing before heading to the All-Star Game was a three-run game-ending home run in the ninth inning Sunday as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 7-4 victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.
After Albert Pujols led off the ninth inning with a single and Mookie Betts was intentionally walked, Muncy clubbed a no-doubt home run off Arizona s J.B. Bukauskas into the right-field bleachers for his third hit of the game. It was his 19th home run of the season.
Betts led the game off with a home run and had three hits as Los Angeles won its final two games before the All-Star break.

HOUSTON (AP) Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer to cap a startling six-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, getting his jersey yanked off in a frenzied celebration and lifting the Houston Astros over the New York Yankees 8-7 on Sunday.

NEW YORK Just because Jacob deGrom won’t be participating in this year’s All-Star Game doesn’t mean he’s lost his label as one of the game’s absolute best. No one can take the title of “four-time All-Star” away from deGrom and it’s an impressive one, considering he’s only been in the league for eight years.
deGrom won’t be adding to his Midsummer Classic highlight reel in Denver, in large part because he wants to keep his body as strong as possible for a second-half playoff run (not to mention a bid for a third National League Cy Young Award). But he has already provided plenty of memorable moments in All-Star Games past.
