Cody Bellinger has faced some challenges recently, missing games due to a back issue and food poisoning, which significantly impacted his performance. However, he broke through in Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, contributing two hits and two RBIs in an 8-4 Yankees victory. His early struggles were noted, with his batting average dipping to .189, but manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence in his abilities.

Bellinger's pivotal moments included an RBI triple that ignited the scoring in the first inning and a crucial single in the fifth that spurred a five-run rally for the Yankees. This performance marks a significant bounce back for Bellinger, who is trying to regain his form after being acquired from the Cubs.
