Dodgers Spring Training Video: Yasiel Puig’s Home Run Vs. Giants

Winners in four of their last five games, the Los Angeles Dodgers traveled to Scottsdale Stadium to face the San Francisco Giants on Monday, who were looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

Brett Anderson made his spring debut and threw two scoreless innings for the Dodgers, but the offense wasn’t able to pick up the left-hander against starter Matt Cain and the Giants ensuing relievers.

That changed in the fourth inning beginning with a leadoff triple from Jimmy Rollins against Ryan Vogelsong. With one out and Rollins still standing on third, Puig worked a full count against Vogelsong, then golfed a two-run home run over the left field fence to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead:

Over his brief, two-year career, Puig is a lifetime .313/383/.565 hitter against the Giants. He swung the bat particularly well last season at AT&T Park, batting .361/.425/.639 over nine games.

While Puig’s home run came against Vogelsong, he has minimal experience against the right-hander — six at-bats but with a .400/.500/.400 slash.
