Trea Turner's Slide Saves the Dodgers
Turner's Slide at Second Base Prevents a Run
Dodgers Win Game 3 of the NLDS
Trea Turner's incredible slide at second base in the bottom of the ninth inning saved the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres. With the Dodgers clinging to a 1-0 lead, Padres' runner Fernando Tatis Jr. tried to steal second base. Turner fielded the throw from catcher Will Smith and made a perfect slide to tag Tatis out, preserving the Dodgers' lead and eventually leading to a 2-1 win.
Turner's slide was a thing of beauty. He timed his slide perfectly, sliding just far enough to tag Tatis but not so far that he went past the bag. The slide also showed Turner's incredible athleticism and instincts. He was able to read Tatis' intentions and make a quick, decisive play.
Turner's slide was a turning point in the game. The Padres had momentum on their side after tying the game in the top of the ninth inning. But Turner's slide took the wind out of their sails and gave the Dodgers a huge boost. The Dodgers went on to win the game in extra innings, and Turner's slide was a big reason why.
Turner's slide was also a reminder of the importance of fundamentals. In a game where every play can make a difference, Turner's perfect slide was the difference between a win and a loss. It's a play that will be remembered for a long time by Dodgers fans.
The Dodgers are now one win away from advancing to the NLCS. They will face the Padres in Game 4 of the NLDS on Thursday night.
