Yasiel Puig hit a 463-foot home run here on Friday. He had a single too, and he drove in half the Dodgers’ runs.
Puig is batting .483 in 29 at-bats at Coors Field this season. He has a 1.262 OPS (on-base-plus-slugging percentage) in 14 career plate appearances against Colorado starter Kyle Freeland.
But Freeland throws left-handed, so Puig is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup on Saturday. Puig has not hit well against left-handers this season, or last.
“When you look at the roster and the depth that we have, we have guys that have,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
