SAN FRANCISCO – Yasiel Puig, José Peraza and Eugenio Suárez were chatting with each other earlier this week when Peraza said he was going to dye his hair blond, like Suárez, if he had two hits in a game.

Puig liked the idea and agreed he would dye his hair blond too once he had a two-hit game. With the way Suárez was hitting lately, hitting five homers and four doubles in his last nine games, Peraza and Puig probably saw it as a way they could break out of their slumps.
