infection healed, he opted to play winter ball in Puerto 

Rico to keep his development on schedule.[6]...
Puig had a strong spring training with the Dodgers in 


2013, hitting .526 in Cactus League games and having

have a multi-homer game in one of his first two 



appearances. The first home run was off Padres pitcher 



Clayton Richard.[10] In his fourth game, on June 6, 2013, 



he hit a grand slam off of Cory Gearrin of the Atlanta 



Braves.[11] The following day, Puig hit another homer to



 become only the 2nd player in the modern era (Mike 



Jacobs in 2005 was the other) to hit four home runs in 



his first five games and his 10 RBI tied the Major League 



record for most RBI in the first five games of a career

DiMaggio (1936) and Terry Pendleton (1984) for second 



most all-time behind Irv Waldron(1901) and Bo Hart 



(2003) with 28.[14] He also became the first player in 



major league history to record at least 34 hits and seven 



home runs in his first 20 games and set Dodger records 



Gibby Brack in 1937) and total bases through 20 games



(58, four more than Del Bissonette in 1928).[15] Puig 



finished the month of June with 44 hits, breaking Steve 



Sax's 1983 team record for most hits by a rookie in one 



month. That total was also second all-time for rookies in 



their first month, behind only DiMaggio who had 48.[16]
