Cody Bellinger's two-run homer lifts Chicago Cubs over Toronto Blue Jays 6-2
Last Updated Friday, August 11, 2023 10:39PM EDTNico Hoerner had a solo bomb and Cody Bellinger smashed a two-run homer in the first inning and the Chicago Cubs never looked back in a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. Both home runs came on nearly identical change-ups from Berrios.
“Two change-ups in the first inning for homers against arguably the hottest hitter in baseball in Bellinger and a good hitting team in general,” said Schneider of Berrios's outing. “They're scoring a lot of runs right now. “We were trying, we were competing and nothing was going our way,” said Berrios. “But that's baseball. That's why we love this sport and we'll just turn the page and be ready for the next one.”
A bloop single by Kirk in the bottom of the fourth scored Cavan Biggio from second to get Toronto on the board.
