Justin Turner tripped over his bat on a groundout, but made up for it later
Justin Turner had a somewhat unusual night for the Dodgers during their 8-6 win over the D-backs. Everything started normally for the red-hot team, as in the first inning, Turner singled and came around to score during a three-run rally that gave the Dodgers a lead they would not relinquish.
In Turner's fifth-inning at-bat, though, he grounded out to third base, and had a bit of a fall near the batter's box. His bat got caught between his legs while running to first, and he fell.
Turner is too good to be set back by a mere stumble, though -- his resemblance to Tormund Giantsbane is no fluke. He had a chance to prove it one inning later with runners on base, and he clobbered an offering from Jorge de la Rosa way back in Chase Field:
It went off the wall for a two-run double, putting a nice bow on a 2-for-5 night for Turner.
No pain, no gain.
