Big weekend goal achieved as Turner powers Phillies past mistake-prone Braves originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
ATLANTA — Maybe Trea Turner should be in the Home Run Derby, too.
The Phillies knew they needed others to step up when Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber joined J.T. Realmuto on the injured list last Friday and Turner has done nothing but rake since.
He began the Phillies' road trip at Wrigley Field this week with a pair of two-run homers to left-center in a two-run win and lofted two more over the wall in left-center Friday night at Truist Park to lead the Phillies to an 8-6 win over the rival Braves.
