Dodgers News: Old Friends Beating LA, a Depth Signing, Muncy Legend and More

The latest and greatest Dodgers news from Saturday all in one place!

The Dodgers actually lost a game and Julio Urias took a medium step back thanks in part to Fenway Park and its quirks. So, Saturday wasn't all great for the boys in blue. Worst of all, former Dodgers Justin Turner and Alex Verdugo jumped at the opportunity to beat up on their old club.

One cool thing happened during the game on Saturday. Max Muncy etched his name alongside some baseball royalty by hitting his 30th home run of the season. That's the fourth time he's done that in six seasons with LA, joining five other franchise legends.

By reaching the 30-HR mark for the 4th time, Max Muncy joins an exclusive list of @Dodgers with at least 4 seasons of 30+ HR:
