Overview

  • Bellinger went 3-for-5 with six RBIs, launching two-run homers in the third, fifth and eighth innings and boosting his season totals to 16 home runs and 54 RBIs.
  • Kyle Tucker’s leaping catch in the seventh inning denied him a potential fourth home run.
  • OptaSTATS confirmed he is the first player in MLB history to hit three home runs in his first game against a former team.
  • Carlos Rodon scattered four hits over eight shutout innings with eight strikeouts, ending his three-start winless skid.
