VIDEO: Cody Bellinger Takes Mike Soroka Deep in 1st Inning as Dodgers Grab Early Lead Over Braves
By Karl Rasmussen
Cody Bellinger wasn't content with being tied up with Mike Trout in the home run race. After ripping his 40th on Thursday, only to watch Trout do the same later on in the evening, Bellinger got the job done early on Friday. In his first at bat against Mike Soroka, the MVP candidate went bridge, crushing a solo shot to get LA on the board.

The third-year star cannot be contained at the plate, having left the yard in four of his past five games. Bellinger is once again leading the league with 41 homers, and at this rate he could reach 50 before the end of August!
