Turner hit a three-run homer, his fourth, in a 1-for-3 game in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

It has been looking for much of the season like Tuner's 16 home runs in 2015 were a fluke. Tuesday night's performance doesn't fix that problem, but Turner has shown solid plate discipline (9.7 percent walk rate, 16.1 percent strikeout rate). Power can be streaky, and if he finds a quick hot streak soon, he can return to the form he showed in 2015. But Turner has just a .409 career slugging percentage, and it is probably wishful thinking to believe he can get back to the .490+ level he was at in 2014 and 2015 for the Dodgers.
