The New York Yankees traded for Cody Bellinger in the offseason from the Chicago Cubs. On Friday night, he had the ultimate revenge game against the Cubs.

He homered in a three-run third off Chris Flexen and in the fifth against Caleb Thielbar for this 18th multi-homer game. Bellinger nearly went deep in the seventh but was robbed by Kyle Tucker on a drive above the right-field wall.

Cody Bellinger downplayed whether his remarkable standout performance was a revenge game or felt sweeter coming against his old team.
