    The Cuban slugger is just one purring component of a machine that has the Dodgers on the brink of an even bigger celebration.

    Puig had three hits and drove in two runs, Austin Barnes added a key two-run double and the Dodgers used another relentless hitting performance to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5 on Saturday night for a 2-0 lead in their NL Division Series.
