Phillies Win 9-1 as Trea Turner Exits With Right-Knee Injury

Turner was removed as a precaution with the club awaiting medical clarity before he returns to the lineup.

Overview

  • Shortstop Trea Turner fouled a pitch into his right knee in the eighth inning Saturday, appeared in clear pain and was removed with Justin Crawford finishing the at-bat.
  • Philadelphia defeated the Twins 9-1 after a seven-run fifth inning that broke the game open.
  • First baseman Alec Bohm had a career night, going 5-for-5 with three doubles, an RBI and a run scored to anchor the offense.
  • Left-hander Jesús Luzardo delivered 6 2/3 strong innings, allowing one run, walking two and striking out nine to give the bullpen a clean path to the win.
  • Manager Don Mattingly held Turner out of Sunday’s starting lineup as the team awaited further medical information and made no immediate roster moves suggesting an injured-list stint.
