After the game, Bumgarner fired off a quick answer when asked about Puig's homer, as reported by MLB.com's Maria Guardado:

As for Puig's haircut, explained his new look to MLB.com's Mark Sheldon postgame, noting that he took part of his inspiration from

And his teammates' reaction to his hair:
¡°Peraza is a little gray. Mine is a little blonde. He doesn¡¯t have the hair that looks good like me. But his is pretty.¡±
How does Puig think his new 'do looks?
"I don¡¯t care how it looks. I do it for my teammates. If I say something and I promise something, I come through. That¡¯s the reason I have my hair like that because I said if I have two hits, I¡¯m going to do it. Now here I am."
