VIDEO: Yasiel Puig lifts Dodgers over Australia with two-run homer

Yasiel Puig's cricket bat flip from his first day in Australia was a sign of good things to come.

The Cuban outfielder launched a massive two-run homer at Sydney Cricket Grounds in the eighth inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers' Thursday exhibition against Team Australia. 

Puig, 23, was off to a slow spring in Cactus League play. He went 5-for-41 with a walk and five strikeouts before arriving in Sydney.
