As noted earlier today Justin Turner and Jeff Gyroko are two players who should garner some Player of the Week votes this week based on what they had done earlier this week.

Tonight Justin Turner thought he’d KO’s Gyroko when he slammed an Oh pitch over the CF wall giving the Dodgers a 3 – 2 lead in the 9th inning. Gyorko however,  was able to stay on his feet and came out swinging, hitting a laser off of Jansen into the left field seats tying the game in the bottom of the 9th. It was Gyroko’s fifth home run this week and came against a tough RHP which is something Gyroko is not known for doing.
