Despite the Dodgers losing by four runs, Tuesday’s game was not without its highlights, starting with Vin Scully’s narrative about beards in 2015.

Then there was this throw by Yasiel Puig. Speaking to reporters after the game, Zack Greinke described Puig’s arm as “amazing.”

Greinke not only pitched well, he praised well. About Yasmani Grandal, he told Ken Gurnick of MLB.com the following:

“He’s been unbelievable back there,” said Greinke. “As a catcher he’s better than advertised. He’s been as good as you could expect. His hands are great, he’s blocked everything I’ve thrown. People stole on him last year, but he’s had some really good throws in games I pitched this spring. His game-calling has been good. I couldn’t draw up a better catcher at the moment.”
