A brawl broke out between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night after an exchange between Yasiel Puig and Nick Hundley got physical.
Puig was batting in the bottom of the 7th inning with his Dodgers trailing 1-0. Puig took a big swing and fouled off a pitch, after which he tossed his bat to himself. Hundley appeared to start talking to Puig, who then got in Hundley’s face.
Puig then swiped at Hundley twice, leading to benches from both teams clearing.

Both Puig and Hundley were ejected from the game.
Puig getting into a fight with the Giants is nothing new. The only surprise is he didn’t get into it with Madison Bumgarner.
