Well, actually two ways as David Robertson fanned Judge to end the game:

I am a die hard Giants fan, but even I can’t deny the greatness of Cody Bellinger. In 57 games he has hit 24 home runs and stolen five bases with a .274/.342/.679 triple slash this year. The Dodgers have 85 games left and if he plays 80 of the games, he would hit 57 home runs for the season… AS A ROOKIE… IN A 137 GAMES!!!

The insanity of @Cody_Bellinger will not end. https://t.co/pHxU5IgMI2 pic.twitter.com/3TNpGJV04N
