New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger explained a wholesome moment he had during the 12-5 rout over the Athletics . The Bronx Bombers are facing some pressure for their divisional lead in the AL East. New York is 48-35, with the Tampa Bay Rays only a game and a half out of first place. The Yankees recently hit a rough stretch, particularly on offense, but have since found their footing as the All-Star break looms in a couple of weeks.

Sunday was a vintage performance for this squad as the reigning pennant winners clocked four home runs, including two by AL MVP contender Aaron Judge . And Cody Bellinger also went yard for his eleventh home run in the fifth inning to all but put the game away. Before he went into the batter's box to face left-hander Hogan Harris , the 29-year-old described a heartfelt interaction he had with a mom and her son at Yankee Stadium. Bellinger detailed this moment, which gave him chills shortly after, in an interview with MLB.com's Jared Greenspan.
"I was warming up, and the mom says, 'Hey Cody, big fan, last time you gave him a fist bump you hit a homer. And I turn around, and I look, and I just saw these two people there. I was like, 'Oh, that was really cool.' So I turn around and I give another fist bump. Obviously, I had to go show him some love. Honestly, that was a pretty cool moment. It was just a really, really cool moment."
