MINNEAPOLIS -- From the moment Yasiel Puig broke into the big leagues, its been
go, go, go for the 23-year-old Cuban outfielder.

Italia . Now that Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is
seeing his electrifying, and sometimes maddening, player start to slow things
down on the diamond, theres no telling how far his talents can take him. Puig
tied a career high with four hits and drove in two runs and Dan Haren struck out
seven in 6 2-3 innings to help the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-4 victory over the
Minnesota Twins in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader on Thursday. "His whole
game seems to be calming down, base-running, defence," Mattingly said. "At the
plate were seeing him be more patient. The sky is the limit for Yasiel Puig. "If
he continues down this path, then he changes everything with how you pitch him,
what you can do to him, because hes going to force you to throw the ball over
the plate." Haren (4-0) gave up four runs -- three earned -- and six hits with
three walks and Juan Uribe also tied a career-high with four hits and two RBIs
for the Dodgers. Chris Perez pitched 1 2-3 innings for his first save.
Mike Pelfrey (0-3) gave up five runs and seven hits and walked three in four
innings for the Twins. Brian Dozier had two hits and two RBIs for Minnesota. The
Dodgers looked uncomfortable in the 40-degree weather in the first inning, when
throwing errors by Carl Crawford in left field and catcher Miguel Olivo on the
same play allowed Trevor Plouffe to score from first base on a bloop single by
Jason Kubel to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. But Pelfrey, who has not won a game at
Target Field since April 16, 2013, gave the lead right back when his walk to
Olivo loaded the bases with no outs in the second inning. Puigs two-run double
made it 3-2 and the Dodgers scored two more on a double from Matt Kemp and a
single from Uribe in the third to take control. "Weve got to do something about
it, we have to fix it," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of Pelfrey. "Were
trying to get him on the right path." Puig also had singles in the first, fourth
and sixth innings and walked in the eighth, the third time hes had four hits in
a game. He is batting .400 (16 for 40) with three doubles and 12 RBIs in his
past 10 games to raise his average to .308 for the season and said hes worked
with hitting coach Mark McGwire on his approach at the plate. "Hes helped me not
get too anxious at the plate," Puig said through an interpreter. "And its helped
me just connect with pitches that would normally give me trouble." The Twins
seemed poised for a big inning in the fifth when Doziers single drove in two
runs and a walk to Joe Mauer gave them runners on first and second with nobody
out. Mattingly then challenged a close play at second base, when Hanley Ramirez
stabbed a line drive from Plouffe and, in one motion, flipped the ball from his
glove to second baseman Dee Gordon to try and double up Dozier. Umpires ruled
Dozier safe on the play, but after a two-minute replay, officials overturned the
call and ruled Dozier out. Jason Kubel grounded out in the next at-bat to end
the inning and Haren escaped with a 5-4 lead. "That fifth inning was close to
falling apart," Haren said. "Id be lying if I told you I didnt catch a break
there, Hanley making a good play and getting the double play. ... Besides that I
felt really good. I had a good rhythm the whole game." Gardenhire had a
challenge of his own in the eighth inning when Kubel was called out on a play at
second base. Gordon dropped the throw from Ramirez on the play, and replay
officials quickly overturned the play to call Kubel safe. NOTES: Dodgers ace
Clayton Kershaw, on the disabled list since after his first start of the season
with strained shoulder, threw 86 pitches and allowed two runs in five innings in
a start for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday night and appears in line to
rejoin the rotation early next week. ... Red Patterson will make his MLB debut
in the nightcap for the Dodgers against Twins LHP Kris Johnson. Both were called
up to start the game under a provision that allows rosters to expand to 26 for a
doubleheader.
