The Dodgers are back home, where they are an astonishing 33-11 in 2017, to host the Diamondbacks for three games beginning Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
This is the 15th different opponent for Cody Bellinger this season. The Dodgers and D-backs played seven times in April, but all before Bellinger was called up to the majors.
In his first game against a new team, Bellinger is 14-for-50 with three doubles, six home runs and nine walks, hitting .280/.390/.700 with 10 runs scored and 14 RBI in 14 games.
