Trea Turner had what seemed to be the whole city of Philadelphia behind him Friday night — and he actually gave them a little to smile about.

After Philly fans banded together to give Turner a raucous standing ovation on Friday, supporting the star shortstop despite his worst season ever, he rewarded their efforts with a 1-for-4 night that included an RBI single in the Phillies’ 7-5 loss to the Royals.

In is first at-bat in the second inning while hitting eighth in the order, he hit a weak 60-mph lineout to first baseman Salvador Perez with a runner on second base in the second inning.

But in the sixth, Turner smoked an opposite-field single to right to drive in Bryson Stott, giving the crowd a little something to cheer about.

“That third [at-bat] was really good,” Turner said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “That’s my swing right there. Something I haven’t been able to do for a while is hit that fastball the other way. I feel like I’ve fouled that pitch off a thousand times this year. For that swing to come out right there is a really good sign.”

He’s now hitting .236 on the season.

“The fans have my back, and they’re showing up for me. It’s pretty cool to see,” Turner said, according to the Associated Press.

A disastrous season for Turner, who signed an 11-year, $300 million contract prior to this season, has only gotten worse recently.

The shortstop, who owns a career OPS of .821, has just a .656 OPS this year and has been dropped to the eighth spot in the batting order from his usual leadoff perch.

On Wednesday’s extra-inning loss against the Marlins, Turner flubbed what should have been an easy ground ball from Josh Bell, allowing Miami to tie the game in an eventual crushing loss.

“Pretty disappointed, obviously I’m the reason why we lost that game, so just frustrated, but I only know one thing and that’s just keep working,” Turner told reporters after the game.

“Make that play and the game’s over. [It’s a] play you gotta make,” the shortstop added.

In response to Turner’s struggles, Philadelphia fans took to Twitter to commit to standing behind their shortstop, planning to show Turner love when the Phillies opened their 10-game homestand Friday.

“If you’re coming to a Phillies game this weekend, let’s not boo Trea Turner,” one fan said. “Let’s give him a standing ovation every time he comes to bat this weekend.

“My boy is in his head and he need some love — not tough love, not right now, he needs love love.”
