Cody Bellinger Broke Wrigley Field Scoreboard With an Enormous Home Run

Cody Bellinger is having a heck of a bounce-back season. After three lousy years in a row, Bellinger is looking more like the guy who won the NL MVP award in 2019. In 76 games with the Cubs this season, he’s hitting .317 with a .912 OPS—that’s 258 points higher than the .654 OPS he posted last year. 

Bellinger kept his hot streak going in Tuesday night’s game against the Reds, picking up three hits as Chicago erupted for 20 runs. He contributed to the offensive onslaught with a towering two-run homer in the second inning when Ben Lively hung a curveball right in his wheelhouse.
