What Happened

Cody Bellinger steps up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a walk-off rampage at home and Bellinger looks to continue the trend. Dodgers pitcher Yency Almonte deals an outside fastball that catches too much of the plate and Bellinger unloads on it, crushing the ball deep into the stands for the game-winning home run. As Bellinger rounds the bases, he glares at Dodgers pitcher Evan Phillips, who had previously struck out Joc Pederson and celebrated by pounding his chest. Bellinger seems to be retaliating for that action, pounding his own chest as he approaches home plate. The Dodgers dugout erupts in celebration and a Dodgers fan in the stands begins removing his shirt, likely in the excitement of the moment. Bellinger's game-winning homer marks the Dodgers' fifth straight walk-off victory at home, an impressive and rare feat. As Bellinger rounds third base, his helmet flies off and his teammates greet him at the plate, dousing him with Gatorade and water. In the commotion, another fan on the opposing side can be seen throwing sunflower seeds at the celebrating Dodgers. Dodgers veteran Justin Turner steps in, reminding the fan that "rules are rules" and he needs to take his shirt off, a common celebration after a walk-off win. The fan obliges, removing his shirt as the Dodgers revel in their dramatic victory. "That's what he just said," Turner remarks, as the Dodgers savor another last-minute triumph in front of their home crowd. Bellinger's heroics continue the Dodgers' remarkable run of walk-off wins, delighting the fans and adding another thrilling chapter to the team's 2023 season.
