LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers offense had their troubles on Saturday night in a 2-1 loss to the Giants, but much of the focus after the game was on Yasiel Puig, who was thrown out trying to steal second for the final out of the game.
After a one-out single by pinch-hitter Curtis Granderson against San Francisco closer Sam Dyson in the ninth inning, Puig grounded into a force play. With pinch-hitter Chase Utley at the plate, Puig took off for second base.
Puig was thrown out by catcher Buster Posey, a play at second base exacerbated by Puig not sliding.
