Zack Greinke Just Flips It After Crushing Home Run

Zack Greinke is in the midst of an interesting matinee in Philadelphia. The Dodgers ace gave up five runs in the first inning. In the top of the third he launched a solo homer off David Buchanan and promptly flipped his bat so high and far it could make teammate Yasiel Puig jealous.
