Drives in both runs Saturday Bellinger went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bellinger plated runs with singles in the third and 10th innings, giving him a team-high 88 RBI for the season. The 28-year-old has had a resurgent first season with the Cubs, as he's sporting a .909 OPS and has looked more like the MVP player he was with the Dodgers back in 2019. Bellinger should remain a key player for Chicago down the stretch as the squad battles for a playoff spot.

Hits 24th home run Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Impact Bellinger doubled home a run in the third inning, then hit his 24th home run of the season in the seventh to help the Cubs to an 8-3 win.

Goes deep in rout Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 15-7 victory over the Reds.

Impact As has been the case for most of the year, Bellinger was right in the middle of Chicago's offensive surge. It's been a huge bounceback campaign for the 2019 NL MVP winner in his first season with the Cubs. He now has 23 home runs and a .916 OPS, compared to 19 long balls and just a .654 OPS last year with the Dodgers. Bellinger is likely behind the likes of Ronald Acuna, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman in the 2023 MVP race, but the former is once again playing at an elite level.

Big day in twin bill Bellinger went 4-for-8 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and a stolen base across both games of Friday's doubleheader split with the Reds.

Impact He launched solo shots in each contest, taking Graham Ashcraft deep in the fourth inning of the matinee before getting hold of a Lyon Richardson curveball in the third frame of the nightcap. Bellinger snapped a brief 11-game homer drought in the process, but he was far from invisible during that stretch, piling up 14 RBI. The 28-year-old is one steal short of his first career 20-20 campaign, and his 22 homers and 81 RBI on the year are his highest totals since he delivered 47 and 115 in his 2019 MVP season with the Dodgers.

Impact Since his two-homer game Aug. 19 against the Royals, Bellinger has been limited to one extra-base hit (a double) in his last seven games, but he's still contributed seven RBI and three runs during that stretch. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent campaign in Chicago and will carry a .317/.365/.540 slash line into Sunday's contest.
