Philadelphia Phillies' Trea Turner celebrates his solo home run against the Minnesota Twins in the fifth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in Minneapolis. APand should be in the mix for a batting title a year after struggling offensively for most of the 2023 season - his first in Philadelphia after signing an 11-year, $300-million contract.
The next batter, Jhonkoensy Noel homered off Kolby Allard - making his first start for the Phillies in place of an injured Ranger Suarez - to tie the game at 3. Steven Kwan hit a solo shot off Jose Alvarado in the seventh inning for the deciding score. “He kind of drew it, it was kind of tailing away from me,” said Turner. “Usually you get that from lefties, not righties. I thought it was a step to my backhand and just kept tailing away from me, ended up having to dive, kind of a weird ball and kind of a mis-read at the same time.
“You want to make as many plays as you can and say what if all the time,” said Turner. “But it’s a hard game. You hold on to things too long, things can keep happening. Negativity is something you have to work through. Obviously wish I could have made that play. I would like to have it back.” “I haven’t looked at the numbers, but at times I feel like I’m trying too hard almost instead of just playing baseball,” said Turner. “I’ve still made some mistakes here or there, trying to compete. Trying to do everything so perfect, I feel like with our pitching staff I get a lot of opportunities. You’re going to have five, six, seven chances in a game. perfection is holding me back.”
