Turner hit his second home run of the season that changed the game. The fifth inning was an offensive explosion for the Dodgers. “That fifth inning could have been the game,” said Roberts.

I don’t think you’ve seen all nine hitters locked in clicking on all cylinders yet. You got to remember we had a three-month shutdown to a three-month ramp-up. Guys are still working through stuff, myself included. Just trying to grind away put together good A-B’s. (At Bats)”
