With his double off Charlie Morton in the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 6-2 win over the Astros in Game 4 of the World Series, L.A. rookie Cody Bellinger recorded his first hit of the Fall Classic, snapping an 0-for-13 start.

The Dodgers had been waiting for Bellinger's bat to wake up in the World Series. Well, it woke up in a big way in Game 4 to help them tie the Fall Classic at 2-2.
Tune in to Game 5 of the World Series presented by YouTube TV on Sunday, 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
