Cody Bellinger's two-run home run leads the Dodgers to an 8-2 win over the Phillies on Wednesday in Philadelphia.
An easy out two weeks ago, Bellinger is finally beginning to emerge from a brutal, season long slump, providing further evidence in that fourth inning by capping a 13-pitch at-bat in which he fouled off seven two-strike pitches with a two-run homer to left-center field.
“We were both grinding — he was trying to make good pitches on me, and I continued to foul them off,” Bellinger said of the longest at-bat of his career. “He left one over the middle of the plate that I saw well and put a good swing on and barreled it up.”The left-handed-hitting Bellinger has been slowed all season by his continued recovery from offseason right-shoulder surgery and a broken left fibula suffered in early April.
But Bellinger is regaining strength in his front shoulder and finding a more consistent swing path. He’s hitting .333 in his last eight games and has hit four homers in his last four games. Bellinger’s timing couldn’t be better. While the Dodgers battled the Phillies, Mookie Betts flew back to Los Angeles to undergo further tests on his inflamed right hip, which sent him to the 10-day injured list again on Wednesday.
