The Los Angeles Dodgers batter Justin Turner hit a 3-run homer in the ninth inning to defeat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 in Game 2 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
The Cubs started the scoring in the fifth inning with Addison Russell hitting a solo home run but the Dodgers responded in the same inning when Justin Turner drove in Charlie Culberson for the tying run.
Starting pitcher Jon Lester threw for the Cubs going 4 2/3 innings with 3 hits, 2 strikeouts and 1 run.
For the Dodgers, it was starting pitcher Rich Hill who lasted 5 innings with 3 hits, 8 strikeouts and 1 run.
But it was Turner who provided all the highlights of the game as he brought in all the runs including the walk off home run.
