Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 on Tuesday night.The fracas starter when Puig swatted
his bat in frustration after fouling off a pitch from Tony Watson, and Hundley
said something to the mercurial slugger while still in his crouch. Puig turned
around and walked toward Hundley, the catcher stood up, and they argued face to
face for a moment before Puig shoved Hundley twice.That brought players out of
the benches and bullpens. Puig and Hundley were momentarily separated, but Puig
ducked around teammates, coaches and manager Dave Roberts before reaching back
to hit Hundley. He smacked Hundley with an open hand across the front of his
catcher’s mask.“When I missed the pitch I knew that was the best pitch Watson
was going to throw me so I was a little upset,” Puig said via a translator.
“(Hundley) told me to stop complaining and get back into the box. When I got in
his face he also told me to get out of his face so that’s when I got upset.“I
didn’t like that he was telling me what to do and then he said some words to me
in English that I really can’t repeat so that is why I was upset.”Said Hundley:
“We’re competing on the field against a team we’re chasing. They’ve been
scuffling a little bit and we’re trying to catch them. Obviously a nice rivalry.
We had some words and pushed a couple times. There’s really not more to it than
that.”Dodgers coach George Lombard was trying to push Hundley away when Puig
took his swing. Lombard and Hundley briefly ended up on the grass. Hundley spoke
to Lombard later.“He was in there trying to break it up,” Hundley said. “I think
he got caught up in my chest protector. We went down and I knew I was on top of
him at some point. I just asked him if he was all right. You don’t want anyone
hurt in those situations.”After the players were separated for good, the umpires
ejected both Puig and Hundley.It was the fourth career ejection for Puig, who
had also got into a skirmish with Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner in 2014.“It
doesn’t happen with other teams,” Puig said.The Giants received six scoreless
innings from left-hander Andrew Suarez, and after Hanson singled in his first
run in the second
