Yasiel Puig delivered in his Major League debut on Monday.
He had two hits and displayed a strong arm in the outfield as the Dodgers beat the Padres 2-1.
Puig batted leadoff and singled in his first at-bat.
San Diego got the potential tying run on first in the ninth when Brandon League walked Chris Denorfia with one out. But Kyle Blanks flied out to right, and Puig fired to first to get Denorfia.
"I'm going to do little things on the field to help the team even when I'm not hitting," Puig said through a translator.
