That's a clutch two-bagger by Muncy, and that's a tie game – one that would set the Dodgers up to win the game on Shohei Ohtani 's walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.

Max Muncy -- the Los Angeles Dodgers one, not the A's guy -- decided to try the now-famous (or infamous, as some feel) torpedo bat on Wednesday night in an eventual win over the Atlanta Braves.

Swinging what might now be called MLB's traditional lumber, Muncy laced a two-out double against Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (they were aggressive with their bullpen after an 0-7 start) and made it a new ball game. It was easily his biggest hit of the season.
