"Miguel Rojas said he aggravated his rib cage on the play at the plate to throw out Isaiah Kiner-Falefa. That's why Hyeseong Kim came in for the 11th inning."
"All I wanted to do was hit the ball up the middle and get on base for Shohei. I think fouling that last fastball off gave me confidence to wait for the ball and he hung me a slider."
"Miggy Ro - I talk about the game honors you and right there the game honored him. He does things the right way and he deserved that moment."
Miguel Rojas aggravated his rib cage while throwing out Isaiah Kiner-Falefa at the plate in the bottom of the ninth of World Series Game 7, prompting Hyeseong Kim to replace him at second base in the 11th inning. Rojas hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth to tie the score at 4 and shift momentum. He became the first player in MLB history to hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7, according to OptaSTATS. The Dodgers won 5-4, and manager Dave Roberts praised Rojas for deserving the moment.
