Phillies’ Trea Turner Had the Smoothest Slide of the MLB Playoffs, and Fans Loved It

The Phillies beat up the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, winning Game 2 of the NLCS 10–0 to take a 2–0 lead in the series.

The Phillies once again benefited from the long ball, as they hit three home runs in the victory. Trea Turner, who’s in his first year with the franchise, hit one of those dingers but something he did on the bases during the win got even more attention from fans.

Turner has long been known as being so smooth when sliding into bases and he showed that off yet again with this beautiful slide into third base in the sixth inning:
