Justin Turner's bat come alive against Padres 

LOS ANGELES (News4usonline) - When you heard the crack of Justin Turner’s bat in the bottom of the second inning in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first game of a three-game series against the San Diego Padres, you knew it was gone. Turner seemed to know it as well as he took off around the bases with jettison speed until the Dodger Stadium crowd erupted in cheers. Turner accounted for three runs against the Padres during a home game for the Dodgers. Those three runs were all the runs the Dodgers needed to hand the Padres a 3-1 defeat at Dodger Stadium on June 30.

After going yard in the bottom of the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, Turner came back for more helping at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning with a two-run blast that sent the Dodger Stadium crowd into delirium. It’s a good thing that Turner came through with his big bat because the Dodgers didn’t really have too much else going for them offensively. Those two home runs that Turner hit accounted for two of the five hits Los Angeles was able to muster on the evening. On his home run in the second inning, Turner tagged San Diego pitcher Joe Musgrove with a 383-foot over-the-wall shot.

Freeman/News4usonline Turner wound up going 3-for-3 and scoring two runs, a pretty good night for a lot of hitters. Turner then got to Musgrove again in the seventh with a 404-foot blast. Despite registering 10 strikeouts, Musgrove was sent to the showers after Turner completed his multi-home run game. Considering what Turner has battled through this season, his performance against the Padres, a team right on the heels of the Dodgers in Major League Baseball's West Division, just might be a good sign for the home team. On the season, Turner is hitting .227 with six home runs and 41 RBIs. Perhaps going deep twice on one of the better pitchers this season might be able to jumpstart Turner into playing at an All-Star level, something that he’s done a couple of times. The win by the Dodgers was a good start to a home stand that will play out until MLB’s All-Star Weekend. After their three-game series against the Padres, the Dodgers play the Colorado Rockies for three games before ending the homestand with a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs.  Up until Turner’s two-run parting shot, the Dodgers and Padres had been locked in a 1-1 tie. San Diego managed to get seven hits in the game but the Padres also left 15 runners on base. It’s a good thing that Turner’s bat exploded the way it did because the Dodgers just were not able to do anything on the offensive end. And all total, San Diego pitchers struck out a dozen Dodgers batters. Before facing the Dodgers, Musgrove (8-2) had only lost one time this season. He now has two defeats on the year, thanks to a red-haired third baseman who pulled out his magic stick at the right time for the Dodgers.   Read the full article

Dodgers Win First World Series Title in 32 years

No dogpile, no champagne and a mask on nearly every face — the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their first World Series title since 1988 in a manner no one could have imagined prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

They started the party without Justin Turner, too, after their red-headed star received a positive COVID-19 test in the middle of their clinching victory.

Turner was removed from Los Angeles’ 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 on Tuesday night after registering Major League Baseball’s first positive test in 59 days and wasn’t initially on the field as the Dodgers enjoyed the spoils of a title earned during a most unusual season.

The 35-year-old Turner has been a staple in the Dodgers’ lineup for seven of their eight consecutive NL West titles. A late-blooming slugger who helped reshape the game by succeeding with an upper-cut swing, Turner is LA’s career leader with 12 postseason home runs, including a pair in this Series, in which he hit .364 and also played stellar defense.

“It’s gut-wrenching,” World Series MVP Corey Seager said. “If I could switch places with him right now, I would. That’s just not right.”

Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed Turner’s positive test moments after presenting the World Series trophy to Los Angeles — a jarring reminder of all that’s been different in this season where the perennially favored Dodgers finally broke through.

Mookie Betts, who came to the Dodgers to make a World Series difference, had a mad dash to home plate in the sixth inning to put Los Angeles over the top.

“I just came to be a part of it. I’m just happy I could contribute,” Betts said

The end of a frustrating championship drought for LA — and perhaps just the start for Betts and the Dodgers, whose seventh World Series title was their sixth since leaving Brooklyn to the West Coast in 1958.

“I had a crazy feeling that came to fruition,” Roberts said. “It’s just a special group of players, organization, all that we’ve kind of overcome.”

Betts bolted from third for the go-ahead run on Seager’s infield grounder, then led off the eighth with a punctuating homer.

“It was absolutely phenomenal. This team was incredible,” said Seager, also the NLCS MVP who had franchise records with his eight homers and 20 RBIs this postseason. “We never stopped. We were ready to go as soon as the bell was called. Once it did, we kept rolling. You can’t say enough about what we did this season.”

Kershaw was warming in the bullpen when Julio Urías struck out Willy Adames to end it and ran alongside teammates to celebrate in the infield, later joined by family who had been in the bubble with them in North Texas.

Players were handed face masks as they gathered, although many of their embraces came mask-free even after Turner’s positive test.

The Dodgers had played 5,014 regular season games and were in their 114th postseason game since Orel Hershiser struck out Oakland’s Tony Phillips for the final out of the World Series in 1988, the same year Kershaw — the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner who won Games 1 and 5 of this Series — was born in nearby Dallas.

About 2½ weeks after the Lakers won the NBA title while finishing their season in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, the Dodgers gave Los Angeles another championship in this year when the  coronavirus pandemic delayed, shortened and moved around sports seasons.

The MLB season didn’t start until late July and was abbreviated to 60 games for the shortest regular season since 1878. And the expanded postseason, with 16 teams making it instead of 10, almost went the full distance.

Both League Championship Series went to seven games, with Los Angeles beating Atlanta in the National League, and Tampa Bay needing all seven games in the American League after blowing a 3-0 series lead against Houston.

Betts made sure the Dodgers didn’t need another game.

Chants of “M-V-P!, M-V-P!” broke out when he hit his double in the sixth off reliever Nick Anderson. Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner had already struck out Betts twice, plus the Dodgers leadoff hitter had a .531 OPS against lefties this season, compared to 1.061 versus right-handers.

Those chants got even louder — even with the a limited crowd of 11,437 — when Betts went deep on an 0-2 pitch by hard-throwing right-hander Pete Fairbanks.

There were plenty of fans in Dodgers blue at the new $1.2 billion home of the Texas Rangers, the stadium with the retractable roof where they played 16 games over three weeks. And the roof was closed for the final one, with misty conditions and a game-time temperature of 39 degrees outside.

The Dodgers, who had a majors-best 43-17 record in the regular season, swept San Diego in three games during their NL Division Series there before the NLCS.

Los Angeles was home team for the final game of the season, like in the 2017 World Series when the Houston Astros won Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, and two years ago against the Red Sox.

Congrats to the Los Angeles Dodgers on their well-deserved Championship Win.
