Los Angeles Dodgers star Yasiel Puig had been batting .179 in July up until Wednesday night against the Oakland Athletics, when he bombed a two-run dinger in a 10-7 win.
According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Puig had a peculiar explanation for getting back on track:
Yasiel Puig on ending slump: "I just stopped playing soccer video games. I've found, when I play baseball video games, I do better."

As Mike Cardillo of The Big Lead points out, Puig is on the cover of MLB 15: The Show, for what that’s worth.
