Dodgers' Yasiel Puig still chasing too many pitches out of the strike zone

LOS ANGELES On an off day in Toronto last week, Yasiel Puig was one of a handful of Dodgers who went on a fishing trip.

At the plate, Puig is still trying to land the big one.

“I think that Yasiel is trying to get four hits in one at-bat,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s what happens to players when you start struggling. And I’ve still yet to see anybody get more than one hit in one at-bat.”

Puig didn’t have four hits in his past 24 at-bats before Friday’s game. The slump that basically started after the first 10 games of the season continues and Puig went into Friday batting .
