Turner Wins NL Batting Title with Record-Low .304 Average, and Judge Leads MLB at .331

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins 2 in the season finale as Trea Turner won his second NL batting title with a.304 average.
The Philadelphia Phillies finished 96-66 and are pursuing their first World Series title since 2008 after a season with an almost $284 million opening payroll.
Kyle Schwarber led the league in homers and RBIs with 56 home runs and 132 RBIs, finishing one ahead of Shohei Ohtani and two short of Ryan Howard's Phillies record.
The Philadelphia Phillies are set to host Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Saturday with Cristopher Sánchez slated to start, and will hold an intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday plus workouts Thursday and Friday.
Looking ahead, the Minnesota Twins finished 70-92 and must decide if Rocco Baldelli will return as manager when they open the 2026 season March 26 in Baltimore, while Turner is the first Phillies batting champion since Richie Ashburn in 1958.
