Yoenis Cespedes' arm is a wonder image

Do. Not. Run. On Yoenis Cespedes. Even if he's throwing from just in front of the warning track. And especially if you are as slow as Adrian Gonzalez.

Gonzalez learned that the hard way Tuesday night when the Mets center fielder nailed the Dodgers first baseman at second base from deep center field.

Score that a single/8-6 putout. The Dodgers didn't even challenge the tag by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.

Cespedes loves to throw, and why wouldn't he with that arm?
