SAN DIEGO (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers Rookie Cody Bellinger is making it look easy.
“It’s not,” Bellinger said after homering twice and driving in four runs to lead the Dodgers to an 8-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
“I’m just getting good pitches to hit and just trying to do the most with it that I can.”
Bellinger has four homers in 10 games. He avoided being sent back to the minors when Adrian Gonzalez went on the disabled list for the first time in his 14-year career.
“I’ve said it before, him going on the DL, you never want to see it,” Bellinger said.
