Real or not? Cody Bellinger is real and he is spectacular, Twins own AL Central

What can you say about Cody Bellinger other than he's real and he's spectacular.

The Los Angeles Dodgers rookie slugged two more home runs in a crazy 12-6 win over the Rockies -- don't worry, we'll get to all those wild pitches in a moment -- and is up to 24 on the season, already a National League record for home runs by a rookie before the All-Star break, with 13 games still remaining. He has been performing feats of strength almost every day, it seems.

Bellinger's first home run Sunday came against Tyler Anderson in the third inning, when he hammered an 0-1 fastball to right-center for a two-run shot.
