Los Angeles Dodgers: Justin Turner’s five most memorable moments in LA

3. Absolute Madness!

I also have a place for this moment in my heart as one of my best friends is a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and this gave me something to hang over his head all season, even if it was just a regular-season game in May.

You could make the case that Turner’s World Series home run is more memorable considering the stakes, but this moment was so Hollywood that it is impossible to deny it as the most memorable regular-season moment of Turner’s career.

The score was 5-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth.Yasiel Puigled things off, worked a full count and thenblasteda solo home run into the left-field bleachers.Cody Bellinger, who at the time was still new on the scene, blasted atoweringfly ball down the right-field line that clunked off the foul pole to give the Dodgers back-to-back home runs and a one-run deficit.

Up stepped a pinch-hitting Justin Turner, who two pitches later hit the most impressive of the three home runs, giving the Dodgers back-to-back-to-back home runs to tie the game in the ninth inning.

This also served asJoe Davis‘ coronation to Dodger fans, who were still getting over the retirement of Vin Scully.“Absolute Madness!”Davis proclaimed, giving him the first (of many) memorable calls for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers did not hit four home runs in a row to win the game, as that would have beentooHollywood for reality.

However,Adrian Gonzalezchopped a two-out, two-strike pitch into the 5-6 hole and the Phillies were unable to handle it, allowingAustin Barnesto score and the Dodgers to win the game.
