Cody Bellinger may need to tone down the celebrations, even when the second was a large one.

The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder crushed a fastball to the right-field seats within the seventh inning of Sport 7 on Sunday night time. It was the game-winning run for the Dodgers, who outlasted the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, to return to the World Sequence.

Bellinger’s shot is a right away entry to the Dodgers best-of lists. There was no query it was gone and the 2019 MVP slowly watched it earlier than jogging across the bases.

Upon his return to residence plate he celebrated together with his teammates by smashing forearms. That in itself looks like a nasty transfer. It’s extra curious since Bellinger has dislocated his proper shoulder earlier than. The 2019 harm compelled his defensive re-assignment from first base to outfield.

An on-field video by MLB exhibits the 25-year-old smashing arms with AJ Pollock and Kiké Hernández, whose pinch-hit homer within the sixth tied it. He spins and avoids any extra arm-related actions after that.

Bellinger was seen telling proper fielder Mookie Betts his shoulder popped out within the subsequent inning and confirmed after the sport that’s what occurred.

“I’m good. I’m good. I hit Kiké’s shoulder somewhat too onerous and my shoulder popped out, so I had to return within the coaching room,” Bellinger stated on MLB Community. “They popped it again in and I used to be able to play some protection. It type of damage.”

Given what occurred, will he be altering up his celebration?

“Yeah I’m going to perhaps use my left arm,” Bellinger stated. “I’ve by no means dislocated that one. So I’ll go left arm perhaps.”

It was Hernandez who received the ultimate zinger in on the second.

“You possibly can take a optimistic out of the whole lot,” Hernandez stated within the post-game interview on FOX. “And the optimistic right here is that Belli now is aware of that he can’t mess with people who find themselves means stronger than him.”
