Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig had a career day at the plate in Saturday’s 17-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, hitting three home runs for the first time while also driving in seven runs.
Puig also hit two home runs in Friday night’s win, so he now has five total homers in his last two games, and 22 overall on the season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts paid Puig the ultimate praise, saying that when he is locked in, he is as good a hitter as anyone in the league, via David Wilhelm of MLB.
