VIDEO: Justin Turner Caps 7-Run Dodgers Rally With Monstrous 3-Run Homer
By Adam Weinrib
Anibal Sanchez exited the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead, captaining the Washington Nationals gamely towards the late innings of a potential series-swinger. Then...the bullpen happened. Featuring a starter! Though Max Scherzer's eighth inning Friday night was a masterstroke, Patrick Corbin did not deliver similar results in the sixth inning of this contest, allowing a two-out rally to blossom into a game-shredder. Russell Martin's two-run, two-out double got the pain train rolling.

And by the time you blinked, Kike Hernandez had knocked in a few more, Corbin had become Wander Suero, and Justin Turner was stomping on a baseball.

As Ernie Johnson said here, the Dodgers had officially opened up a Can. Of what, we wonder?
