Los Angeles Dodgers rookie first baseman and outfielder Cody Bellinger continued his hot-hitting ways Monday night, collecting three hits (two home runs), four RBI and two runs scored.
Bellinger required just 51 games to reach his current total of 21 career home runs, fewer than any other player in MLB history, per the Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN). The previous record was held by Wally Berger in 1930, who reached 21 homers in his 55th career major-league contest. Bellinger also cranked multiple homers for the fifth time in his young career, setting the mark for fewest games required to notch five multi-homer games.
