Puig Homers Twice In Second Game 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 5, 2013 12:22 pm

Yasiel Puig had a nice second game for the Dodgers on Tuesday night.


Puig homered twice and drove in five runs as the Dodgers beat the Padres.


The 22-year-old's first career home run came off Clayton Richard in the fifth inning. It was a three-run blast.


Puig got both balls back as keepsakes.


"I'm glad I hit two home runs," he said. "I'm more happy because the team won."


Puig became the first Dodgers player with more than one homer in his first two career games and the first to have five RBIs in that span since Spider Jorgensen drove in six runs on April 17, 1947.

I think he'll be a 20-20 player this season. He's electric and very exciting to watch.
