A wild game at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday had a wild ending, when Yasiel Puig picked up Jedd Gyorko’s single to center on a hop and fired directly to the cutoff man, Adrian Gonzalez, who nailed baserunner Abraham Almonte scrambling back to third base. It was bang bang … and then bang again after it was upheld under video review.
My favorite part, other than the crispness of the 8-3-5 putout itself, might be the belated outfield celebration.
It was a harsh end to the night for Almonte, who had four of the Padres’ 14 hits, the most allowed by the Dodgers since July 8. A total of 27 baserunners reached in the game for the two teams.

Remembering Adrián Beltré who made his first appearance in 1998 and the Dodgers really put a lot into to this player. Rookie hype and it was great for baseball. Puig resembles Beltre in so many ways. His energy and young talent is way out there. But This time around I think the Dodgers have found someone (Puig) worth holding onto. Def not uncontrollable like the late Ramirez (Not Handley).Not that I wish any of them ill will, but Puig for the Dodgers will come into his own.and so fun to watch.
