The Dodgers decided a year was long enough for their franchise record for homers in a month. Justin Turner hit a line drive into the left field seats in the ninth inning for the 54th Dodgers’ homer in the month of June, breaking the record of 53 they set exactly one year ago to the day.
It was the only offense the Dodgers could muster Friday night in a 3-1 loss to the Rockies.
