Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger each hit a solo home run, Joc Pederson added a two-run shot and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-5 on Wednesday night. The Dodgers improved to 17-6 in June and have slugged a major league-leading 51 homers this month. That’s the second-most during any month in franchise history, and with three days remaining they have a chance to overtake last year’s team that set the record with 53. Muncy homered over the center-field wall in the first for his ninth long ball this month and 16th of the season. Later in the inning, Yasmani Grandal’s two-run double with two outs gave the Dodgers the lead for good, 3-2. Pederson followed in the second with his 10th homer of the month to make it 5-2. Enrique Hernandez extended the lead with an RBI single.
