But Bellinger indeed got his third homer of the game in his final at-bat in the eighth inning, a ball that a Yankees fan snagged in his glove just out of reach of Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. After the game, Bellinger said he had met the young fan, whom he thanked for keeping the ball out of the park.

He homered in a three-run third off Chris Flexen 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.

Grigor Dimitrov appears to be in good spirits after his unfortunate exit from Wimbledon on Monday. While en route to upsetting World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the round of 16, up 2-0 in sets, Dimitrov was forced to withdraw from the match with a partial pectoral tear.
