The Los Angeles Dodgers needed some offense badly, and Miguel Rojas delivered it. With the game on the line, down 4-3, the Dodgers fans hoped that Shohei Ohtani would bring this one home.

However, Ohtani enjoyed Rojas' home run from the on-deck circle. The Dodgers' infielder hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to tie Game 7 at 4-4 against the Toronto Blue Jays. Next up, Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith both retired.

Rojas’ blast forced extra innings and kept Los Angeles alive.

Miguel Rojas throws to home to stop Blue Jays from walking it off

Miguel Rojas not only had his World Series moment in the top of the ninth inning but also in the bottom half. With the Dodgers tying the game in the top half, they needed a clean ninth inning.

Blake Snell started the inning, recorded one out before Bo Bichette hit a single to left field. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was called in to record the final two outs. The Dodgers ace walked Addison Barger and struck Alejandro Kirk with by pitch.

For the last second out, Yamamoto induced a ground ball to Miguel Rojas at shortstop, who made an instantaneous throw to catcher Will Smith to deny the Blue Jays a potential walk-off run.

Then, Yamamoto induced a flyball to left center field, where Andy Pages shoved Kike Hernandez to catch the ball and force extra innings.
