The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets have produced their share of fireworks in head-to-head meetings since Chase Utley upended Ruben Tejada in Game 2 of the 2015 National League Division Series.
The latest issue to stem from their matchups came Wednesday night when Yasiel Puig slugged a three-run home run. Puig admired his blast and enjoyed a leisurely trot around the bases. That irked Mets first baseman Wilmer Flores and catcher Travis d’Arnaud, both of whom had words for Puig.
Yoenis Cespedes and Jose Reyes appeared to have a cordial conversation between innings, but Reyes was critical of Puig prior to the four-game finale.
