Trea Turner homered twice, Bryce Harper hit a two-run shot and the streaking Philadelphia Phillies beat Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels 6-4.
Trea Turner keeps hitting homers — all the Phillies have of late, really — with his seven this month for a team that has socked 52 in August."These guys made a great run last year," he said."I've played my fair share. That's the goal. That's when it's really fun. You've got to play well for 162 to get there."
After four months of fits and starts from the Phillies' high-priced sluggers, the bats went wild in August. Harper lined his sixth homer in the last 11 games into the right-field seats. Turner, though, stole the show. He made a run-saving play at shortstop in the first and has a hit in 17 straight home games. Turner is hitting over. 300 in August while establishing himself — finally — as the kind of player worthy of his $300 million contract.
"He gives everybody at a young age the opportunity to strive to be like that," Harper said."Hopefully one day we'll have multiple players in the league doing what he's doing, because it is very special. He's one of the guys that can do it because he does have the body that he does and the mindset that he does."
