Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, a polar opposite to Yasiel Puig in personality type, issued a quiet challenge to his right fielder before Sunday's game.

"It's really almost up to him," Mattingly said. "Is he going to make adjustments to pitching and how they are pitching him? Is he a guy who just goes up there reacting or does he actually have a game plan?

"Usually, the guys who have a game plan are the ones who can change over time. If you are just reacting, then the way you are the first time we see you is probably what you are your whole career."
