LOS ANGELES — Yasiel Puig had another rumble with the Giants on Tuesday night.

The Dodgers outfielder swung at Giants catcher Nick Hundley during a benches-clearing brawl in the seventh inning of San Francisco’s 2-1 win on Tuesday night.

The fracas started when Hundley said something to Puig after the mercurial slugger had fouled off a pitch and threw his bat in the air in frustration. The players argued face to face for a moment before Puig shoved Hundley twice, leading to a full-on scuffle between the teams.

Before they could be separated, Puig hit Hundley with an open hand across the front of his catcher’s mask.

“When I missed the pitch, I knew that was the best pitch Watson was going to throw me, so I was a little upset,” Puig said via a translator. “[Hundley] told me to stop complaining and get back into the box. When I got in his face, he also told me to get out of his face, so that’s when I got upset.

“I didn’t like that he was telling me what to do and then he said some words to me in English that I really can’t repeat, so that is why I was upset.”

Said Hundley: “We’re competing on the field against a team we’re chasing. They’ve been scuffling a little bit and we’re trying to catch them. Obviously a nice rivalry. We had some words and pushed a couple times. There’s really not more to it than that.”

Dodgers coach George Lombard was trying to push Hundley away when Puig took his swing. Lombard and Hundley briefly ended up on the grass. Hundley spoke to Lombard later.

“He was in there trying to break it up,” Hundley said. “I think he got caught up in my chest protector. We went down and I knew I was on top of him at some point. I just asked him if he was all right. You don’t want anyone hurt in those situations.”

After the players were separated for good, the umpires ejected both Puig and Hundley.

It was the fourth career ejection for Puig, who had also gotten into a skirmish with Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner in 2014.

“It doesn’t happen with other teams,” Puig said.

The Giants received six scoreless innings from left-hander Andrew Suarez, and after Hanson singled in his first run in the second, were leading 1-0 with two outs in the eighth when the Dodgers tied it on Justin Turner’s third double and Manny Machado’s single off Sam Dyson (3-2).
