Bellinger blasts a pair of homers for Drillers
Cody Bellinger simply couldn't make an out on Monday night.
Whether he was driving the ball out of the park or getting it done with a base hit, the Dodgers' top prospect provided the bulk of the offense as Double-A Tulsa topped Springfield, 7-3.

Bellinger, baseball's No. 35 overall prospect, was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of homers and a career-high six RBIs.
The 21-year-old has two multi-homer games this season and is hitting .264 with 22 home runs and 63 RBIs through 110 games in his first season at the Double-A level.
Bellinger concluded a seven-pitch at-bat with a base hit in the second inning, then unleashed his power with a three-run homer in the fourth and ripped a solo blast in the sixth. The game was seemingly already in hand when Bellinger came up again in the seventh, but just for good measure he ripped a single to center and collected two more RBIs.
