Japan Series

As many of you know, the Dodgers have twoplayers (Yasiel Puig and Drew Butera) on the MLB team that is participating in the Japan series. Although the MLB won the exhibition game, they fell short in the opening game to Samurai Japan. They fell 2-0.

 Puig went 0-2 and it wasn't mentioned how Drew Butera fared. The MLB will try to even the score in game 2.

This is the second time this year that Dodgers players have battled on the international diamond. In March the Dodgers traveled to Sydney Australia to play two games against the Diamondbacks right before the regular season started.
