Best Batter Today

Cody Bellinger goes one for five with a double and scores the winning run in a Mets-Dodgers slugfest Wednesday night to stay in first place in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Bellinger holds off Josh Bell, who went three for five with a home run. Anthony Rizzo posted a quiet one for four to stay ahead of the idle Christian Yelich, while Alex Bregman doubled in four plate appearances to hold onto fifth place. Two points separate Bellinger from Bell.

Bellinger’s BA drops to .378, so it looks like he won’t be hitting .400 this season. He’s hitting .233 in his last seven games, but six of his seven hits went for extra bases.
