Benches clear after Madison Bumgarner taunts Yasiel Puig

San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner has developed a reputation for being intense on the mound. The big lefty has gotten into a number of shouting matches with opposing players, often times due to silly reasons.

Bumgarner was at it again during Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Yasiel Puig hit a weak grounder back to Bumgarner. Bumgarner ran off the mound, scooped up the ball and narrowly threw out Puig at first to end the inning.

Bumgarner was fired up after the play, and clapped his hands together as he proceeded to walk toward the Giants dugout. Before doing so, he glanced over at Puig, and decided he didn't like the way the 25-year-old outfielder was looking at him.

This triggered a scuffle as both benches cleared.
