Trea Turner hits two homers as Phillies beat Dodgers 10-7

sportsJul 21, 202638576

Trea Turner hit a two-run homer and a three-run homer, driving in five runs as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7 at Citizens Bank Park. The three-run shot came just inside the left-field foul pole and was the 200th home run of Turner’s career; Turner also hit the 300th double of his career in the first inning. Turner’s bat outweighed a poor night at shortstop: he committed his third error in four games and his 15th of the season, and he misplayed three other balls that were scored base hits. The Phillies smacked five home runs total in the game, and Turner’s big night capped a four-run sixth that pushed Philadelphia to an 8-3 lead. Manager Don Mattingly defended Turner, saying “Trea’s our guy” and that Turner cares about his defense, while the club is at least considering moving Turner to the outfield next season after recent struggles. Turner has hit .324 with seven homers and 19 RBIs over his last 27 games, with a .360 on-base percentage in that span. Turner called the game “a roller coaster” and said he needs to find defensive rhythm again as the season progresses.

I heard Jon Lester that other day call this “The Manny Ramirez”: drop a ball but hit a three-run homer and it’s all good.

PHILLIES WIN!! Trea Turner had the most aggressively Trea Turner game of all time (2 HRs, a double, 5 RBIs, 4 should be errors) Five total home runs on the night, including Bryce Harper’s 200th as a Phillie Cristopher Sánchez was better but didn’t get out of the sixth

Not sure I have ever seen a single baseball game like the one that Trea Turner has played tonight. Some of the worst defense at shortstop you will ever see. And also the Phillies' best player by a lot.

Forget later or next year, Trea Turner might be playing CF for Philly by the 8th inning tonight

Trea Turner has three misplays in the field tonight. Only one of them was scored an error, but clearly in his own head defensively. Not sure what the Phillies can do, because he's started to hit and they need his bat.

I know it’d be “easier” and ”less stressful” for Trea Turner to be a “normal” player this year but this is also entertaining

Trea Turner is an all-time Phillie. Just not in the way ppl us usually mean. He just perfectly encapsulates the Phillies experience.

This is the most Trea Turner game I've ever seen. 2 HR, and (while not scored as such) 3 errors at SS.

In the world of people who aren’t shilling for the Phillies, Trea Turner has three errors in six innings.

Today in 1970, Bill Singer throws a no hitter as the Dodgers beat the Phillies 5-0. Singer walks none but hits a batter and commits an error to allow the only Phillies runners. It is the 15th no hitter in franchise history and the 1st since Sandy Koufax's perfect game in 1965.
