WATCH: Yasiel Puig Goes Deep Twice in Dodgers Blowout Win
Yasiel Puig said he wants to start again. If he performs as he did Friday consistently, he’ll get his wish.
Puig smacked two home runs in a 12-2 blowout of the Texas Rangers. He had four RBI on the night.

A focused and motivated Puig is an asset to the Dodgers. Puig has always had five-tool potential, but putting it together has been a chore. Dave Roberts speaks highly of Puig and believes he is one of the game’s best outfielders.
Brandon McCarthy was the Dodgers’ other star of the night
Let’s hope Puig remains in focus and he can be the everyday RF WITHOUT the need to be platooned.
