Max Muncy's relationship with the ballyhooed torpedo bat may have been a fleeting one. The Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman used the oddly shaped baseball innovation for his first three plate appearances of L.

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.

With Muncy ditching the torpedo, the Dodgers had the game all knotted up at five when Shohei Ohtani came to bat with two outs in the ninth and no one on base. The Japanese superstar drilled a home run to center to walk it off, giving Los Angeles a 6-5 win and an 8-0 record while Atlanta flounders to an 0-7 embarrassment.
