Cody Bellinger’s 8th inning three-run homer leads Dodgers past Twins<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Cody Bellinger continued his super rookie season, drilling a three-run homer in the eighth inning to rally the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Bellinger’s 28th home run of the season, second in the National League behind Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton’s 32.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edward Paredes, making his major league debut after 12 seasons in the minors, threw a scoreless eighth to earn the win. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth to earn his 25th save.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eddie Rosario drove in three runs for the Twins on a solo homer and two doubles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taylor Rogers (5-2) gave up two hits prior to Bellinger’s home run to take the loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dodgers were playing their first game since losing ace Clayton Kershaw for an undetermined time with a back injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Angeles started Hyun-Jin Ryu, who had not pitched since June 28 after going on the disabled list with a bruised foot. He did not make a rehab start.<\/span><\/p>\n

He pitched well until giving up two runs in the fourth. With two outs he walked Eduardo Escobar, and gave up run-scoring doubles to Rosario and Jason Castro.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Twins countered Ryu with 44-year-old Bartolo Colon, making his second start with Minnesota. He threw four scoreless innings until the Dodgers broke through with back-to-back solo homers from Yasmani Grandal and Joc Pederson in the fifth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yasiel Puig followed with a triple and scored on a Chris Taylor single to put Los Angeles up 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Twins quickly tied it up on a solo home run from Rosario off reliever Grant Dayton in the sixth.<\/span><\/p>\n

TRAINER’S ROOM<\/span><\/p>\n

Twins: Right-handed reliever Justin Haley, who hasn’t pitched for the Twins since going on the disabled list with a sore shoulder, cleared waivers. The Rule 5 pick was returned to the Red Sox.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodgers: Two-thirds of their rotation, left-hander Kershaw (strained lower back) and right-hander Brandon McCarthy (blister), were placed on the 10-day disabled list. The Dodgers would not put a timetable on the return of Kershaw, who strained the back pitching Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/span><\/p>\n

Twins: Right-hander Jose Berrios (9-3, 3.50 ERA) is scheduled to make his 14th start of the season but first career start against the Dodgers on Tuesday. Has eight quality starts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodgers: Right-hander Kenta Maeda (8-4, 4.23), who has bounced in and out of the rotation the past two months, is scheduled to make his 16 start. He needs to be a mainstay with Kershaw and McCarthy down. He has never faced the Twins but is 3-0 with a 1.06 ERA this season in three interleague starts.<\/span><\/p>\n
