Cody Bellinger’s home run for the Dodgers came with runners on second and first. Bellinger’s hit came on a pitch well above the strike zone: A fastball armpit high that Braves reliever Luke Jackson said he would throw again.

For Bellinger, the high fastball was worth the chase.

Recount the moment Tuesday when Bellinger turned the series around.
