Despite the Yankees' consecutive losses against the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays, Bellinger got to celebrate a milestone. The outfielder completed his 200th career home run, making him the 30th player to do so in a pinstripe.

“I think that is definitely pretty cool,” said Bellinger. “You never know, as a kid, what you can do. So I’ve just got to keep going.”

When asked what he would like to do with the ball, he said he’ll keep it with the other significant accolades and keep on the pace to achieve more. While it was a frustrating loss for the Yankees, Cody Bellinger got the maximum motivation to produce firepower to keep on breaking new records.
