Cubs designated hitter Cody Bellinger turned on a low cutter from White Sox ace Garrett Crochet and hit a moon shot into the right-field stands

It was the first home run Crochet had given up to a lefty in his career.

“I knew it was a tough at-bat, and didn’t know the exact numbers,” Bellinger said after the Cubs’ 7-6 win against the White Sox Friday. “So just kept it simple.”

The Cubs pounced on White Sox ace Garrett Crochet for six runs in 2 1/3 innings.
