Yasiel Puig has struggled in the NLDS. At one point he struck out in seven consecutive at-bats before tripling in Game 3. Before that, way back on Friday, Puig had two hits and scored three runs, but that was apparently a lifetime ago. So with the Dodgers on the brink of elimination Don Mattingly has decided to go in another direction and has benched Yasiel Puig. Andre Ethier will replace Puig in the lineup and probably save the Dodgers’ season.
