LOS ANGELES — No punches were thrown in the latest round of Madison Bumgarner vs. Yasiel Puig, but the Dodgers certainly got the last laugh.
Bumgarner and Puig went at it again after the seventh inning at Dodger Stadium, and whatever happened as benches cleared was enough to end Bumgarner’s night after just 97 pitches and one hit. The Dodgers rallied against the Giants bullpen, winning 2-1 to extend their lead in the National League West to six. With less than two weeks left in the season, that should just about do it.
Derek Law was the first of the committee to take the ball.
