Cody Bellinger Slugs 44th Home Run on Gavin Lux Day at Dodger Stadium

By TheNaturalMevs on September 3, 2019

Last night in Los Angeles, Gavin Lux made his big league debut. Furthermore, Cody Bellinger walked three times and clubbed his 44th home run of the 2019 season off left-handed reliever Jake McGee.

Lux singled on the first pitch he saw. Then, he doubled to the right-center gap in his second at-bat. He accomplished a little history on the night, scoring three runs.

Gavin Lux is the first @Dodgers player in the live-ball era to score 3+ runs in his MLB debut.#LABleedsBlue

The Dodgers had two home runs from Chris Taylor and Joc Pederson. Corey Seager hit a three run bomb. On a night when Walker Buehler didn’t have his best stuff, he got a bunch of run support from his offense to get the win. The Dodgers are now 40 games above the .500 mark and absolutely lapping the competition in the National League.
