More concerningly, Turner easily won the batting title as the National League’s only qualified .300 hitter, which in itself is a frightening feat. He’s the first Phillies player to lead the NL in hitting since Hall of Fame outfielder Richie Ashburn posted a .350 average in 1958.

The Philadelphia Phillies are hoping that Trea Turner will be back before the playoffs, but he is trending in the right direction.

A bases-loaded throwing error to home plate by Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering in the 11th inning allows the Dodgers to take a series-clinching 2-1 win.
