Just two short hours ago, Christian Yelich hit his 42nd home run to tie Cody Bellinger for the NL lead. Well, so much for that. Bellinger delivered No. 43 in the ninth inning against Arizona Diamondbacks lefty specialist Andrew Chafin.

Per most lefties, Bellinger's average just take a slight hit against LHP, as the arm angle poses a new, significant challenge for the MVP candidate.
But still! Did you really think this was going to work in the ninth inning of a close game?
Imagine thinking this would work ?
