Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement that the league could've "handled the situation more effectively."

Turner went back-to-back with Corey Seager, his first homer of the postseason, in the first inning to put the Dodgers up 2-0. They would tack on one more run in the frame, which would be enough to pick up the win and force a Game 7. The third baseman has had a slow postseason thus far and is batting just .220/.313/.341 with one home run and four RBI over 41 at-bats. He had a .336 career batting average in the postseason prior to 2020.
