LOS ANGELES — As they stood side-by-side on the third-base line Wednesday night waiting for the first notes of the national anthem, Justin Turner tried to give Trea Turner an idea of the atmosphere he was about to experience.
“You haven’t really felt Dodger Stadium until you’re here for a playoff game,” Turner told his teammate. “Wait until you see a homer and see how loud this place gets.”
Four tense, stomach-churning hours of single-elimination baseball later, the newest Dodger soaked in the sort of delirious eruption that Turner described.
