Dodgers News: Justin Turner Anticipated Personal Slump Despite Hot Start

Justin Turner arguably was the hottest hitter in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup as the team got off to a 13-2 start this season. Then as the likes of Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Corey Seager, Will Smith and others went into prolonged slumps, Turner kept hitting.

Turner batted .330/.409/.596 with seven doubles, six home runs and 20 RBI through the first month of the season. That surpassed the three career homers Turner had ever hit in games played during March and April.

Turner carried his hot hitting into May before enduring his own slump as the likes of Muncy and Smith began to emerge from theirs and the team rebounded from a 5-15 stretch.
