Cody Bellinger reached the 100 RBI milestone. He’s also the youngest player in franchise history with 40 homers and 100 RBI in a season.
Cody Bellinger is the first Dodger to reach the century mark in RBI since Adrián González knocked in 116 runs in 2014.

Yet again, the Dodgers hit a lot of homers.
Tonight is the 18th time this season the @Dodgers have hit at least 4 HR in a game.

That's the second most in a season in MLB history, behind only the 2017 Orioles (19).#LABleedsBlue
Check out this great piece on the Dodgers’ hitting coach, Robert Van Scoyoc.
Around the league....
If you’re expecting a shutout from your starting pitcher, don’t expect it to come against the Yankees.
With Gary Sánchez’s 1st inning HR, the @Yankees pass the 2000-2001 @Reds for most consecutive games without being shutout (209).
