Yasiel Puig was caught flipping the double bird after a home run in Cleveland on Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning off Trevor Bauer. As he headed towards the dugout after the home run, Puig flipped the middle fingers:

It’s unclear at whom the gesture was directed. That was Puig’s 10th homer of the season, which is pretty good for a hitter in the 9-hole.
After the game, Puig said he was responding to hecklers.
Yasiel Puig said he was getting heckled. "I reacted that way," he said. "I stooped to their level."
