Cody Bellinger puts on epic three-homer show against former team in Yankees’ shutout win over Cubs

Seven months ago, the Cubs traded Cody Bellinger to the Yankees in what was essentially a salary dump.

On Friday night, Bellinger dumped on the Cubs.

With the Yankees surging onto the doorstep of the All-Star break, Bellinger led the way by crushing a trio of two-run home runs — and coming within inches of a fourth homer before he got robbed — on the way to an 11-0 win over the Cubs on Friday night in The Bronx.

In one of the Yankees’ most complete wins of the year — and their fifth straight — Bellinger received a curtain call after his third homer of the night made it a 10-0 lead in the eighth inning.

Newly named All-Star Carlos Rodón delivered his best start as a Yankee, smothering the majors’ highest-scoring offense across eight shutout innings, while Aaron Judge made three highlight-reel catches — two on back-to-back plays in the fourth inning — to help keep the shutout intact.

But the night belonged to Bellinger, who only cost the Yankees depth starter Cody Poteet and taking on the two years and $47.5 million left on his contract.

He swatted a two-run homer off Chris Flexen in the third inning to make it 3-0, another in the fifth off lefty Caleb Thielbar to make it 5-0 and then a third in the eighth inning off lefty Jordan Wicks to cap off a monster night.
