After Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain, many expected the injury to be the beginning of the team's infamous late-season stumble as the Phillies were, at the time, still looking to clinch a playoff berth.
In the nine games since Turner went down, the Phillies have scored 6.8 runs per game, en route to an 8-1 record.
The Zack Wheeler news was a devastating blow, but the Turner injury was the real turning point in the latter half of this season.
