Dodgers News: Max Muncy Hopes Incident With Madison Bumgarner Doesn’t Escalate Into Yasiel Puig-Like Situation

San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner has certainly had his fair share of run-ins with the Los Angeles Dodgers over recent seasons. The latest incident occurred in the first inning of Sunday’s three-game finale between the two teams at Oracle Park.

A mere two batters into the contest, Max Muncy produced the Dodgers’ only run of the day with a majestic 426-foot blast into McCovey Cove. Bumgarner immediately took exception with the 28-year-old after he dropped his bat and admired what was his 13th home run of the season.

The two exchanged words with each other, but nothing more escalated from that point on.
