"I think it's one of the perks for playing for the Dodgers," manager Dave Roberts said. "You play in a great city, where there is a lot of celebrities, and for the players to get on board and the fans and for it to gain the momentum that it has, I think speaking for JT, it's pretty humbling and exciting for everyone."
Turner went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs against the D-backs on Tuesday increasing his batting average to .384 with a .472 on-base percentage.
