WATCH: Yasiel Puig's mad dash after error gives Dodgers wild win over Nationals image

The Dodgers beat the Nationals on Wednesday night with a home run — a Little League home run.

Yasiel Puig circled the bases after his single in the ninth inning got past Washington center fielder Michael Taylor and rolled to the wall in left-center.

As left fielder Jayson Werth ran after the ball, Howie Kendrick scored from first base. As Werth airmailed his relay to second baseman Daniel Murphy, Puig steamed toward home.

Murphy couldn't make a throw, Puig slid headfirst to the plate and LA had a wild 4-3 win.
