Bellinger Powers Yankees With Grand Slam, 13-Game Streak

Cody Bellinger has extended his hitting streak to 13 games and delivered a standout 3-for-3 performance with a grand slam in the Subway Series finale against the Mets, marking a significant turnaround from his slow start to the season. Bellinger has batted .377 during his hot streak, with both he and manager Aaron Boone crediting his resurgence to mechanical adjustments and improved pitch selection. The Yankees' pitching staff also excelled, notably with strong outings from Max Fried and relievers Devin Williams and Jonathan Loáisiga. Reliever Scott Effross returned from injury but was optioned to Triple-A. Bellinger's offensive surge has played a key role in helping the Yankees maintain momentum in the intercity rivalry. His recent contributions underscore his renewed value to the team.
