Turner went 2-for-3 with his 24th homer Wednesday in a 1-0 win over the Giants.
His fourth-inning shot to left center off San Francisco starter Johnny Cueto accounted for the game's only scoring. With five hits in the last two games and a .343 average (including six homers) in August, Turner's brought his season average up to .282 -- its highest point since the first week of April action. He certainly won't match the career high he set two years ago (.340), but Turner's made up for that with a host of career marks in other categories -- homers, doubles (28), RBI (74) and runs (61) -- and he has plenty of time left to pad those stats.
