Cody Bellinger becomes first Dodgers rookie to hit for cycle
Cody Bellinger legged out a leadoff triple in the seventh inning on Saturday against the Miami Marlins to become the first Dodgers rookie to hit for the cycle.
Bellinger hit a single in the first inning, a two-run home run in the third and an RBI double in the fourth before tripling to deep right-center in the seventh. The triple, which was his first since May 2, barely cleared the glove of right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, who tried to making a running, backhanded catch.
Bellinger grounded out in the ninth to finish 4-for-5 at the plate. The Dodgers won 7-1.
Bellinger, who is tied for the NL lead with 26 home runs, said the cycle was his first at any level. He's the ninth player in the Dodgers' 128-year history to hit for the cycle, and the first since Orlando Hudson did it in 2009.
