Yasiel Puig is pretty much always having fun, even when he makes a rough baserunning blunder during a playoff game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ outfielder tried a delayed steal with one out in the bottom of the sixth against the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of the NLDS. And, well, it didn’t work. Atlanta catcher Kurt Suzuki threw out Puig by plenty.

But after the play, Puig gave a big hug and a peck on the neck to his former Dodgers teammate, Charlie Culberson.

And Puig’s baserunning didn’t end up mattering. Clayton Kershaw threw eight sensational scoreless innings (with just 85 pitches) to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 victory, and a 2-0 series lead.
