Justin Turner is heating up as the weather in Boston begins to do the same, following the advice he received from a Red Sox icon.
The Red Sox’ third baseman’s first game against the Yankees at Fenway Park was one for the ages. He went 3-for-5, hitting a two-run homer in the second before hitting a grand slam in the third as he knocked in enough runs by himself for the Red Sox to beat the Yankees in Friday’s 15-5 win.
As Turner continued his hot streak on Friday, he recalled something Dustin Pedroia told him prior to the season after he signed with the Red Sox.
