Yasiel Puig jogged the 90 feet from the plate to first base while clutching his bat. He had just grounded out for the final out of the 12th inning, stranding three runners to push the Dodgers’ total on the night to 15. Once he ran through the bag, he completed a gesture that spoke for the rest of his team in a 2-1 loss to Arizona.
Puig yanked his helmet off his head and smashed it with his bat. The frustration was obvious for the Dodgers, who were unable to puncture the threadbare Diamondbacks pitching staff. Kenley Jansen blew his fourth save of the season, forcing the game into extra innings and opening the door for Arizona three innings later.
