Puig tried to score from first on a fly ball to center field that was dropped by D-backs outfielder Adam Eaton. Two runs scored on the play, but Puig ignored the third base coach who told him to stay at third. The relay throw from shortstop Didi Gregorious beat Puig easily, and Montero held onto the ball as Puig collided him at home plate. As Puig walked away, Montero gave him the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag as if to say "Not in my house".
Puig is an incredible talent, but he is still a rookie, and this play shows he still has some room for improvement in his game.
