Turner’s walk-off homer lifts Dodgers over Cubs

Justin Turner belted a three-run walkoff homer to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, extending their lead in the National League Championship Series. The score was knotted at 1-1 with the Dodgers down to one out in the bottom of the ninth when Turner powered a 92 mph (148.06 Km/h) fastball from Cubs hurler John Lackey over the centerfield wall at Dodger Stadium. Yasiel Puig and Chris Taylor, who had both been walked earlier in the inning, also scored as the Dodgers took a 2-0 lead over the reigning World Series champion Cubs in the best-of-seven playoff series.
