Dodgers News: Yasiel Puig Flips the Bird to Hecklers After HR
After what seems to have been a great year in terms of showing maturity for Yasiel Puig, he has endured his first slip-up during Tuesday’s game in Cleveland.
After taking Trevor Bauer deep to right-center field for a home run to give the Dodgers a two-run lead in the top of the second, Puig greeted a group of hecklers sat beside the Dodger dugout with a pair of birds that might cost him a hefty fine.
Here is the home run:

Right after the video cuts off is when Puig flipped off some fans in the stands.
In a postgame interview, Puig acknowledged his actions.
