With the Los Angeles Dodgers facing the Cleveland Indians on the road for the first time since June 2003, it marked a new experience for the majority of players on the Dodgers active roster. Included in that group was Yasiel Puig.
For Clayton Kershaw, it checked off one of the final stadiums he’d yet to pitch in. Now, only SunTrust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, is the lone ballpark Kershaw has not toed the rubber in.
As for Puig, who batted ninth in the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts lineup against Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer, he made an immediate impact early.
