LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Turner stepped to the plate in his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list and immediately hit a two-run homer. It was like he never was gone.
The Los Angeles Dodgers used the early lead and Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda combining on a five-hitter to roll past the Cincinnati Reds 7-2 Friday night.
“It just feels good to be back in there,” Turner said. “I used (rookie) Cody Bellinger’s bat. There must be home runs in it.”
Enrique Hernandez added a solo home run in the Dodgers’ nine-hit attack.
