Philadelphia Phillies Shortstop Trea Turner achieved a significant milestone on Friday night that he hadn’t accomplished since April 14. After over two months, Trea Turner hit a home run. He smashed a two-run shot in the bottom of the third inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Additionally, Turner secured an RBI infield single in the bottom of the seventh inning, finishing the game with a 2-of-4 performance and three RBI in Philadelphia’s 5-4 loss.
Trea Turner made his return to the field earlier this week after recovering from a hamstring injury that kept him out for two and a half months. He currently holds a .344 batting average this season with three home runs and 12 RBI.
Will Turner be able to carry this positive momentum into the upcoming weekend as he continues to make progress after his extended absence?
