If you’re a believer in symmetry, then Justin Turner put the Los Angeles Dodgers in good shape for the rest of the MLB postseason.
Turner slugged a walk-off, game-winning three-run home run against the Chicago Cubs to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the NLCS.

This home run came on the 29-year anniversary of Los Angeles’ last walk-off homer in the playoffs. This is one that you’ve probably seen a time or two.

Of course, 1988 was the last World Series that the Dodgers won, or even appeared in.
That’s not a fact that the Dodgers are going to mind hearing.
