Cody Bellinger's Unforgettable Night at Yankee Stadium
New York, USASat Jul 12 2025
Cody Bellinger, now playing for the New York Yankees, made a big splash against his old team, the Chicago Cubs. On a Friday night, he hit three home runs in the same game, something he had never done before. This was not just any game; it was his first time playing against his former team, and he made history by being the first player to hit three home runs in such a scenario.
The Yankees won big, 11-0, thanks to Bellinger's incredible performance. He almost hit a fourth home run, but the Cubs' outfielder, Kyle Tucker, made a spectacular catch to stop him. Bellinger is known for his skills, having won the National League MVP in 2019. He is also on a hot streak, hitting safely in 16 games straight and batting over . 400 during that time.
Bellinger's performance was so impressive that he got a standing ovation from the Yankee Stadium crowd after his third home run. This was a special moment for him, especially since he is about to turn 30. His season stats are solid, with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs. He has the option to leave his current contract in the fall, but for now, he is just enjoying his success.
This was not just a big night for Bellinger but also for the Yankees. He became the 29th player in Yankees history to hit three home runs in a single game. Other Yankees players, like Aaron Judge and Domingo Germán, have also achieved this feat this season.
