Cody Bellinger hit two home runs, leading the Dodgers to an 8-2 win over the Padres on Friday night at Petco Park in San Diego.
Believe it or not, this game was a close contest most of the night, with the Padres leading 2-1 after six innings. But the Dodgers scored a pair of runs in the seventh, one in the eighth, then put the game away with four in the ninth.
Three came on Bellinger’s second home run of the night, a shot to dead center. He is the first Dodger with a pair of two-homer games in the first 10 games of his career, dating back to at least 1913.
