Watch Justin Turner Hit First Red Sox Home Run, Give Boston Lead
It marked Turner's first home run of the season
Justin Turner deposited his first Red Sox home run into the Green Monster seats Sunday afternoon.
The 386-foot blast off of a fastball from Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers gave Boston a 2-1 advantage in the third inning. Turner brought in Alex Verdugo, who ripped a one-out single to center field earlier in the frame.
Check it out the go-ahead longball, which had an exit velocity of 103.2 mph.
Turner’s home run would have been a homer in 29 of the 30 Major League Baseball ballparks. It was the 38-year-old’s first round-tripper since early September of last year.
