Cody Bellinger hit three two-run homers against his former team and was robbed of a fourth, Aaron Judge made a trio of outstanding catches and the New York Yankees routed the Chicago Cubs 11-0 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory following a a six-game losing streak.
Carlos Rodon 10-6, who became a three-time All-Star when he was added to the AL roster before the game, allowed four hits in eight innings with eight strikeouts and one walk.
Bellinger, who played for the Cubs in 2023 and '24, had his first three-homer game and tied his career high with six RBIs.
He homered in a three-run third off Chris Flexen 5-1 and in the fifth against Caleb Thielbar for this 18th multi-homer game.
Bellinger nearly went deep in the seventh but was robbed by Kyle Tucker on a drive above the right-field wall. He homered in the eighth off Jordan Wicks, just above the glove of leaping center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.
