While the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a 13-7 loss the Miami Marlins in the three-game series finale, Cody Bellinger made a bit of personal and franchise history by hitting his 40th home run of the season.
Bellinger surpassed his previous career high of 39, set during his National League Rookie of the Year campaign in 2017, and became the youngest player in Dodgers franchise history to hit 40 home runs in a single season.
He reached the benchmark in just 118 games, tying with Gary Sheffield (2000) for fastest in Dodgers franchise history. Earlier this season, Bellinger reached 100 career home runs in his 401st game to break Mike Piazza’s Dodgers record (422 games).
