Yankees Struggling Star Secures Series Sweep with Sensational Play

It looked as if Cody Bellinger was going to settle right into the Yankees' lineup out of the gate when he went 3-for-5 with four RBI and his first homer in pinstripes during the second game of the season back on March 29. Since then, it has been a bit of a battle at the plate for the former NL MVP. 

Going into play Wednesday night, Bellinger had gone an ugly 5-for-40 with 16 strikeouts and just one extra-base hit over the first 15 days of April. However, he found a way to pick himself up and play a pivotal role in the series finale against KC.

Even though he did go down on strikes once in his four at-bats, Bellinger also squared up a couple of hard-hit balls, coming up with an RBI double on one of them. His prime highlight of the game, though, was a diving grab to seal the win in the top of the ninth. 

Bellinger is a Gold Glove winner, and he showed exactly why with that game-saving grab. 

Judge, who went 3-for-3 on the night to raise his batting average to a ridiculous .409, said of his new teammate, "Wow. That’s the reason he’s got gold on his glove. Very few people make that catch."
