Dodgers' Yasiel Puig Suspended Two Games For Fight With Giants' Nick Hundley

Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was handed a two-game suspension and undisclosed fine Thursday for his role in a benches-clearing brawl against the Giants on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

Giants catcher Nick Hundley, who was also at the center of the fracas, was fined but not suspended.

During the seventh inning of Tuesday's contest at Dodger Stadium, Puig engaged in a shoving match with Hundley after fouling off a pitch. Puig appeared frustrated with himself, slapping his bat before returning to the batter's box. As he did so, Puig and Hundley exchanged words, which led to both players shoving each other and then both clubs' benches clearing.
