Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo homer on Wednesday, leading the Phillies to an 8-4 win over the Rays. Philadelphia’s lineup battered Tampa Bay’s bullpen to the tune of eight runs on 17 hits. Turner delivered a game-tying homer in the fifth inning. It was the first time he’s gone deep since June 25 and was his ninth round-tripper of the season. He’s batting an underwhelming .248/.302/.387 with 50 runs scored, nine homers, 30 RBI and 18 stolen bases across 378 plate appearances in his Phillies debut.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Brandon Lowe doubled twice and collected two RBI on Wednesday in the Rays’ loss to the Phillies. Lowe opened the scoring with a bloop double to center field off righty Taijuan Walker that wound up plating a pair in the opening frame. The 28-year-old second baseman has three hits in seven at-bats over two games since returning from the injured list earlier this week.
