NEW YORK — Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy set a Major League Baseball postseason record when he reached base for the 12th consecutive time in a 10-2 victory over the New York Mets in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday night at Citi Field.

Muncy broke the previous record of 10 with a fifth-inning walk and then extended the mark to 12 with a seventh-inning single before striking out in the eighth. The previous single postseason record of 10 was shared by Billy Hatcher with the Reds in 1990 and David Ortiz with the Red Sox in 2007.

Muncy said it's not necessarily an easy thing to do — and «It's probably hard to do right now. There are lot of things going on with the atmosphere, but you just try not to do too much.»

Muncy shifted from third base to first Thursday, filling in for Freddie Freeman, who was sidelined because of a sprained ankle that has affected him throughout the postseason.
