Cody Bellinger was having a revenge game and produced the first three-homer game of his career, but the Cubs robbed him when he nearly launched a fourth.
But Bellinger indeed got his third homer of the game in his final at-bat in the eighth inning, a ball that a Yankees fan snagged in his glove just out of reach of Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. After the game, Bellinger said he had met the young fan, whom he thanked for keeping the ball out of the park.
