Cody Bellinger Destroys the Yankees with Three Home Runs
In a memorable night in the Bronx, Cody Bellinger, former Cubs player, led the offense with three home runs against his former team. The New York Yankees defeated the Chicago Cubs with a resounding 11-0, extending their winning streak to five games.
Carlos Rodón, who was selected for the All-Star Game, had a dominant performance on the mound, allowing only four hits in eight innings, with eight strikeouts and one walk. Rodón demonstrated his worth and control, keeping the Cubs’ offense at bay.
Bellinger, who played for the Cubs in 2023 and 2024, had his first three-home-run game, tying his personal record with six RBIs. His power was evident from the start, hitting a home run in the third inning against Chris Flexen, and another in the fifth against Caleb Thielbar.
Bellinger’s impact continued in the eighth inning, where he hit his third home run of the game, this time against Jordan Wicks.
Aaron Judge, for his part, stood out with three spectacular defensive catches, denying the Cubs any chance to score.
The game was full of key moments, including Judge’s catch in right field that prevented a home run by Pete Crow-Armstrong.
The Yankees have scored five or more runs in ten consecutive games, something that hadn’t happened since July 2012. This streak highlights the team’s offensive consistency.
