Dodgers Believe Cubs’ Willson Contreras Blocked Justin Turner’s Path To Home Plate

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Chicago Cubs in extra innings for a second consecutive night and were swept for the first time this season, which understandably brought about some frustration.

The Dodgers took four separate leads throughout the night, including when Max Muncy hit an RBI double off the wall in left-center field. Gavin Lux scored easily from third base but Justin Turner was thrown out at the plate on his attempt to race home from first.

Turner attempted to slide his left hand past the tag by Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and came up looking at it as he walked toward the dugout.
