Giants starter Madison Bumgarner and Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig got into a heated verbal altercation at the end of the seventh inning in Los Angeles on Monday, causing benches to clear.
Puig was running out a slow roller up the first base line, and was thrown out by Bumgarner to end the inning. After the out was recorded, Bumgarner shouted “F— yeah!” causing Puig to look back. When he looked, Bumgarner began to shout at him, appearing to tell him to stop looking at him.
This caused Puig to inch closer, retorting, and the bullpens to clear.
