Dodgers Quick Hits: Resting Justin Turner Yesterday was the Right Move

The Dodgers offense was futile again yesterday as they managed to score just one run. They also struck out nine times against Luis Castillo as they made the young right-hander look like the second coming of Pedro Martinez. One move that was highly criticized by Dodger fans was the decision to rest Justin Turner with under twenty games left in the season.

Despite being the Dodgers’ hottest hitter since his return from the DL, it made all the sense in the world to rest Justin Turner yesterday. For one, the Dodgers have an early day game today following their night game last night.
