Trea Turner shines at short and the plate as Phillies walk Braves off

Trea Turner had done plenty of run prevention in the early innings on Saturday against the Braves, but he had a chance for some run production in the eighth, with the score tied, runners on the corners and one out. Turner had already doubled twice. He could cap it off with a game-winning RBI.

Turner struck out looking, watching a curveball from Braves reliever Pierce Johnson down the middle for strike three.

It made the actual punctuation mark, 37 minutes later, that much more emphatic.

Turner delivered a walk-off two-run single to give the Phillies a victory in extras.
