How smooth was Trea Turner’s slide vs. Phillies? It inspired Dodgers to quote BTS

Trea Turner extended his right leg and dropped to his left hip just outside the batter’s box .

The Dodgers second baseman casually reached out his left hand to touch home plate as he slid by, then rotated 180 degrees as he rose back onto his feet.

All in essentially one motion.

Few have ever looked so smooth while sliding home to score than Turner did Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The fact that the run gave the Dodgers a two-run lead in the sixth inning of an eventual 5-0 win was just a bonus.
