Victory Over the Angels
The Dodgers triumphed over the Angels with a 7-2 win. Despite Shohei Ohtani hitting his 23rd homer of the season and ace Tyler Glasnow delivering a stellar performance with 10 strikeouts over 7 innings, 35-year-old veteran Miguel Rojas played a crucial role with two hits, continuing his “undefeated streak.”
Rojas’ Impressive Performance
Rojas started as the shortstop and seventh batter, going 2-for-4 and scoring two runs. His batting average now stands at .277 with an OPS of .750. According to reports, Rojas has recorded hits in 22 games this season, all of which the Dodgers have won, solidifying his status as the team’s lucky charm.
Rojas’ Reaction to the Streak
In a post-game interview, Rojas commented on his unique record, saying, “I first heard about the ‘undefeated streak’ around my 18th game in New York. Since then, I’ve been aware of it.” He added with a smile, “I hope we can extend this streak to 40 games by the end of the season!”
Filling in for Betts
With the Dodgers’ primary shortstop Mookie Betts sidelined due to injury, Rojas has temporarily taken over the shortstop duties. He acknowledged, “The season is long, and many things can happen. Mookie is an irreplaceable player, but we have Shohei Ohtani leading the way now.” Rojas emphasized the depth of talent on the Dodgers, stating, “We have a lot of talented players, and each of us is full of confidence.”
Ohtani’s Leadership
Rojas highlighted Ohtani’s role as a catalyst for the team, praising his ability to lead and energize the Dodgers. “Shohei is our trailblazer right now, guiding the team forward,” he said, underscoring Ohtani’s importance to the squad.
Confidence in the Team
Rojas concluded by expressing his confidence in the team’s abilities and their collective effort to maintain their winning momentum. “With our roster’s talent and our shared confidence, we’re poised for continued success,” he asserted.
Season Outlook
As the Dodgers continue their season with a strong record, the contributions of players like Rojas and Ohtani will be pivotal. The team’s ability to adapt and perform, even with key players like Betts out, showcases their depth and resilience. (Lvbet)
