Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger became the fastest player in Major League history to 21 career home runs, doing so in 51 games. It was previously held by Wally Berger of the Boston Braves, as he needed 55 games in 1930.
Bellinger had previously tied New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez for most home runs (19) in his first 50 career games. Bellinger put on a power display early against the New York Mets on Monday night.
His three-run home run in the first inning gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead, and his solo homer in the second inning extended it to 7-0.
