Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

The 29-year-old took Garrett Crochet deep in the first inning, helping the Cubs jump out to an early 7-0 lead that the pitching staff nearly fumbled. Bellinger has been locked in since returning from a finger injury in late July, batting .361 (13-for-36) over his last nine games with three homers, eight runs and eight RBI.
