The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding a six-game winning streak into their massive series against the Atlanta Braves, which begins Tuesday night.
Ahead of the matchup, the Dodgers announced some exciting personal news about veteran slugger Max Muncy, who is currently in his 11th MLB season and ninth with the organization.

Muncy remains one of the Dodgers’ most prolific and durable players, and the team took to social media to celebrate his special day.
