Turner's Two Bombs Bury LA as Philly Survives Betts Barrage

Quick Answer

Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with 2 home runs and 5 RBI to power Philadelphia past Los Angeles 10-7 on Monday. The win came despite Mookie Betts putting on a show of his own — 4-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 runs — in a losing effort.

Philadelphia seized control early and never fully let go. In the second inning, Rincones Jr. doubled to right to score Stott, Crawford followed with a sacrifice fly to score Realmuto, and then Turner crushed a 404-foot homer to left that plated Rincones Jr. and made it 4-0 before Los Angeles had even blinked. The Dodgers chipped away — a Betts run via double play in the fourth, then a two-run sixth that saw Muncy double home Rojas and Pages reach on an infield single to score T. Hernández — and suddenly it was 4-3 with the momentum appearing to shift entirely toward LA.

That's when the sixth inning became the story of the night. The win probability had swung from 82% to 65% in Philadelphia's favor when Muncy's double cut the lead to one, and for a moment the Dodgers looked like they were about to take over. Instead, Marsh answered immediately with a 396-foot shot to left center to push the lead back to two, and then Turner delivered the knockout: a 346-foot homer to left that scored both Stott and Hill, blowing the game open at 8-3. That three-run sequence in the sixth — Marsh's solo shot followed by Turner's three-run blast — looks like the moment Philadelphia put this one away for good.

Los Angeles refused to go quietly. Betts homered to left center in the seventh (401 feet), Harper answered for Philadelphia with a 407-foot shot of his own, and Hill added a 424-foot solo blast in the eighth to push the lead to 10-4. Betts then capped a remarkable individual night with a 421-foot two-run homer in the ninth — his second of the game — to make it 10-7, but there was no completing the comeback. On the mound, Emmet Sheehan allowed 6 earned runs in 5.1 innings for LA, while Cristopher Sanchez gave Philadelphia 5.1 innings of 3-run ball with 7 strikeouts and zero walks — a workmanlike outing that appears to have been just enough to keep his team in front. Jose Alvarado closed out an inning of perfect relief. The final: Philadelphia 10, Los Angeles 7.
