Cardinals Turner Smacks 5 Hits
A jubilant Justin Turner joined the postgame press conference at Target Field today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Minnesota Twins pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the St. Louis Cardinals third baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Cardinals to a 7-5 win.

"He made it look easy," said Nicolas Park, manager of the Twins. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Justin Turner singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jacob Lopez in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.

Turner is currently batting .267 with 7 home runs and 36 RBIs.
