NEW YORK (AP) — Watching from the visitor’s dugout, Justin Turner saw his teammates spray Citi Field with a bunch of home runs and figured the Los Angeles Dodgers wouldn’t need any from him.
His power proved to be the difference.
Turner hit the Dodgers’ seventh home run of the game, a go-ahead drive in the 11th inning that led Los Angeles over the New York Mets 8-7 Sunday.
“I was hoping we didn’t need one,” said Turner, who went 1 for 9 in the first two games of the series before getting the day off.
