If we said that arguably the hottest hitter in the National League over the last four weeks was a Dodger, who would you guess that Dodger would be?

Justin Turner — of course.

On May 21, Turner took over the third base job with Juan Uribe going on the disabled list. Turner went 0-for-4 that day. But from May 22 on, though, no NL has a higher batting average.

Turner’s .373 (22-for-59) is fifth in baseball in that span, with Cleveland’s Lonnie Chisenhall (.429), Texas’ Adrian Beltre (.410), Minnesota’s Danny Santana (.397) and Texas’ Alex Rios (.392) ahead.

In that span, Turner has raised his batting average from .218 to .285. He has five two-hit games in his last six games.

It doesn’t stop there. The utilityman, who was a non-roster invite to Spring Training, is third in the NL in on-base percentage (.431) and seventh in slugging (.576) in that stretch.

For the month of June, the 29-year-old leads the Dodgers in WAR (0.5) and is 15th in the league, according to Fangraphs.
