Trea Turner homered the first time up tonight, taking Colorado Rockies’ right-hander Peter Lambert deep to center to lead off the home-half of the first with his ninth career leadoff home run (tying Alfonso Soriano’s franchise record for leadoff blasts, though Soriano hit all of his in one season in 2006).
Turner reached on an infield single the second time up, in the bottom of the second inning, then tripled to lead off in the fifth, leaving him a double away from the cycle, and then he connected for the two-base hit he needed in the home-half of the seventh, hitting for the cycle for the second time in his career.
