Bellinger’s Three Homers Topples Cubs in Yankees’ 11-0 Win

In his first matchup against Chicago since the December trade, he set a major-league record and propelled New York to its fifth straight win.

Cody Bellinger's three-homer night was very nearly a four-homer night.

Overview

  • Bellinger belted three two-run homers in the third, fifth and eighth innings at Yankee Stadium, driving in six runs in the rout.
  • A leaping catch by Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker in the seventh inning denied him a potential fourth homer.
  • The outing marked both Bellinger’s first career three-homer game and the first time any player hit three homers in their debut against a former team.
  • He enters Saturday’s action with a .285/.340/.498 slash line, 16 home runs, 54 RBIs and a career-high 16-game hitting streak.
  • Acquired in December for pitcher Cody Poteet and cash, Bellinger’s resurgence has become a key factor in New York’s midseason surge.
