Dodgers' Justin Turner extends hit streak in dramatic fashion on Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner belted a game-tying pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Turner now owns the league's longest active hit streak in 2017 at 15 and Saturday marked his first homer of the season. However, Turner is hitting a cool .388 so far this season, so the Dodgers and fantasy owners will be just fine with his home run numbers down to start the year.
Our models project Turner to post a .262 average with 21 homers and 70 RBI's over 458 plate appearances remaining this season.
