October Red: Dodgers' Turner again delivers with bat, glove
10 Los Angeles Dodgers jersey and all of those postseason hits. A month shy of turning 36, Turner also scored after a double and showed off a nifty glove at third base. Turner's 40 RBIs are Dodgers postseason record. His record 18th postseason double came in the third before scoring on Max Muncy’s two-run single for a 3-0 lead. Turner is at the end of a $64 million, four-year contract he got in free agency to re-sign for the Dodgers before the current run of World Series.

Buehler leads Dodgers over Rays 6-2 for 2-1 Series lead
(AP Photo/Eric Gay)ARLINGTON, Texas – Walker Buehler pitched in the World Series like the Los Angeles Dodgers' aces of old. Buehler struck out 10 over six innings in a pulsating performance, and Los Angeles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Friday night for a 2-1 World Series lead. He became just the second player to drive in runs with both a homer and a sacrifice bunt in the same Series game. Steely-eyed like Hershiser, who won MVP honors of the 1988 Series, Buehler has supplanted Kershaw as the Dodgers’ ace. He has allowed one run in 13 Series innings that include seven scoreless in Game 3 against Boston two years ago.
