Puig's Walk-off Homerun to Win it for Dodgers Video

LOS ANGELES — Yasiel Puig homered with two outs in the 11th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Cincinnati pitchers set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts. Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez and Tim Federowicz each fanned three times as the Dodgers established their highest single-game total for strikeouts since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles following the 1957 season. Puig drove an 0-1 pitch deep into the left-field pavilion against rookie Curtis Partch (0-1) for his 10th homer and 23rd RBI in 48 big league games. The excitable rookie circled the bases and slid into home plate, where teammates were waiting for him.This time, the theatrics were delivered by Yasiel Puig, the rookie lightning rod who has energized the team ever since being called up. In the bottom of the 11th inning in a scoreless game, Puig strode to the plate and delivered the coup de grace, in typical Yasiel Puig fashion.The 22-year-old player's home run was his 10th of the year to go with a .372 batting average. He has taken the league by storm and was close to being selected to the All-Star Game after only one month in the major leagues. While he lost out on the final vote to Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves, you can expect many more chances in the future. The Cuban defector continues to dominate opposing pitching and showcase a great deal of ability in the field and on the bases. His latest performance against the Reds is just one more example of what makes him one of the bright young stars in the sport.
