Justin Turner ties team-record with first inning HR on Friday

Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, and two runs scored in the Dodgers 6-2 win over the Rays in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Turner opened up the scoring in the top of the first inning when he took Charlie Morton deep to left field. It was Turner's 11th career playoff home run, which tied Duke Snider for the Dodgers' franchise record. Turner would also double and score in the third inning in a game that was never really in doubt for Los Angeles as their pitching held down the Tampa bats all evening. The veteran third baseman had struggled earlier in the postseason but he's picked up at least one hit, all for extra-bases, in all three World Series' games thus far.
