SAN DIEGO -- The Dodgers are ever hopeful that Yasiel Puig fulfills his offensive potential, so his productive game Friday night gave manager Dave Roberts an upbeat takeaway from a crushing walk-off loss to the Padres.
"I think his approach was better," Roberts said, after Puig slugged a two-run homer, singled and scored twice.
"He's been working on mechanics. To see him hit a baseball to right-center field like he did [for the home run] and a first-pitch curveball laced to left field, that was good to see. It seems like his pulse is better.
