Bellinger Hits Three Homers in Yankees' 11-0 Win

Cody Bellinger powered the New York Yankees to an 11-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs by hitting three two-run home runs in his first game against his former team since being traded in December. Bellinger extended his hitting streak to a career-high 16 games and was almost credited with a fourth homer before being robbed by Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker. Yankees starter Carlos Rodón threw eight shutout innings with eight strikeouts, and Aaron Judge made three key defensive plays to help secure the shutout. This game marked the third time this season a Yankee has hit three homers in a game. The Cubs received pitcher Cody Poteet in the trade for Bellinger but have not used him, and Bellinger is expected to opt out of his contract at the end of the season. The win was the Yankees' fifth straight.
