Miguel Rojas saw only one pitch all night, but that was all he needed. Pinch-hitting in the bottom of the seventh inning, Rojas pulled a first-pitch sinker from Rays reliever Steven Matz into the left-field seats for a solo shot that held as the game-winning run in Monday night's 4-3 Dodgers victory at Dodger Stadium. "You never expect a home run," manager Dave Roberts said. "But I just knew that I liked the matchup and I felt he was going to put up a good at-bat. He's really embraced this role, one of our team leaders, and it's good to keep him active and part of things." It was the Dodgers' first pinch-hit home run of the season, and the second of Rojas' career. "It's pretty cool that you're coming off the bench and you're doing your job," Rojas said. "I've been working really hard on trying to get better at that, because I've never been a really good pinch-hit hitter, but I've been talking to a lot of people that helped me with experience and getting to understand a little bit more -- what do I need to do when I get my pinch-hit at-bats?"
