Justin Turner went 3-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run scored in the Dodgers’ loss to the Braves on Saturday. Turner reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances in this one. He singled in the first inning, singled in the third, walked in the fifth, walked in the seventh, and singled in the ninth. The 34-year-old third baseman has recorded seven multi-hit performances in 13 games this month.

Ozzie Albies smacked a two-run double in the Braves’ win over the Dodgers on Saturday. Albies put the Braves on the board with a two-run double off Dodgers’ southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu in the third inning. It was his lone hit in four at-bats and also snapped a streak of five consecutive games without an extra-base hit. The 22-year-old second baseman has put together an impressive second half, hitting a robust .313 (45-for-144) with 22 runs scored, four home runs, 19 RBI and five steals in 34 games.
