Part of Justin Turner getting off to a hot start this season and carrying the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup included an early power surge that was not typical for his career.
Turner batted .330/.409/.596 with seven doubles, six home runs and 20 RBI through the first month of the regular season. That surpassed the combined three career homers he had ever hit in games played during March and April.
However, Turner endured a recent slump and until Tuesday night, had not hit a home run since doing so against the New York Mets on Aug.
