After hitting the game winner Dodgers Manager Dave Robert’s had this to say about Bellinger "For him to get that hit, I think it was big for all of us.”

After this moonshot, fans and teammates hope that Bellinger can find his stride again. This was Bellinger third career walkoff victory. The last time he did this was in 2019 against the Arizona Diamondbacks..In this game, Bellinger had a home run in the second and the tenth inning to seal the deal.
