The Dodgers’ series finale with the Padres will probably be rained out on Sunday, but that would just give us an extra day to marvel at the career start Cody Bellinger has had so far.
Bellinger hit a grand slam in the eighth inning on Saturday night, somehow pulling an inside pitch around his eyes.
That gave Bellinger three home runs this weekend in San Diego, and five on the season, tied for the team lead. He has played 11 of the Dodgers’ 31 games.
Bellinger has driven in 14 runs, just four off the team lead, and he’s already fifth on the team with 11 runs scored.
