It was a night to remember at the dish for New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger, who belted three home runs for the first time in his career in his club's 11-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night at Yankee Stadium. But Bellinger's three-homer night was very nearly a four-homer night.

After homering twice, Bellinger stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning and drove a sinker from Cubs lefthander Jordan Wicks to the right field wall. The ball looked to be his third homer of the game, but Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker leaped in the air and snatched the ball in his glove before it traveled over the wall.
