Injury:
Turner tied a major league record in the win, hitting for the cycle for the third time in his career. He is now tied with Adrian Beltre, Babe Herman, Bob Meusel, and John Reilly who all hit for the cycle three times in their respective careers. However, Turner left in the seventh inning when Ryan Zimmerman pinch-hit for him. Jordy Mercer replaced him at short.
Soto was replaced in the ninth inning after flying out to center to close out the eighth inning. Gerardo Parra replaced Soto in right field for the final frame.
Rotoworld:
Soto sent a ball out to left for an opposite-field home run in the sixth to make it 6-4. It was his 10th of the year but just his third since June 9. The 22-year-old had some struggles throughout the first half of the season but is still slashing a satisfactory .277/.395/.438 with 20 extra-base hits, 39 RBI, 47 runs scored, five steals and a 51:47 BB:K over 309 plate appearances. He looks quite healthy now and is bound for a stellar second-half while trying to help lead his club back to the playoffs.
