Since making his MLB debut in June 2013, Yasiel Puig has found himself in the spotlight and at the center of some sort of controversy on several occasions. Such was the case after he hit a three-run home run in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ rout of the New York Mets.
While Puig faced the burden of accepting responsibility for some of his previous mishaps, such was not the case Wednesday night. The Mets intentionally walked Joc Pederson to put two on with one out.
Thus, Puig took additional satisfaction on clubbing a 3-1 pitch into the left-field pavilion.
