Puig to start two-game suspension

Yasiel Puig will begin serving his two-game suspension tonight vs. the Mets for a benches-clearing incident that took place on Aug. 14, when he and Giants catcher Nick Hundley got into an alercation at home plate.

In the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 2-1 loss to San Francisco, Puig expressed frustration after fouling off a Tony Watson pitch, and he and Hundley proceeded to exchange heated words. The situation escalated quickly as Puig pushed Hundley, who shoved him back, prompting members of both teams to spill out of the dugouts and sprint toward home plate.
