After their 12th extra-innings loss of the season in 13 such games this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to even the Freeway Series with the L.A. Angels as the newly-acquired Trea Turner makes his first start since being acquired from the Washington Nationals.
Turner, who was activated off the COVID-IL on Friday, made his Dodgers debut as a pinch-hitter during the ninth inning of an eventual 4-3 loss.
The Dodgers hope the dynamic All-Star can provide a spark to the team, which has been mostly inconsistent despite their MLB-leading +165 run differential, as they sit second in the National League West with a 65-45 record, four games behind the San Francisco Giants.
