"Miguel Rojas and Yoshinobu Yamamoto helped the Los Angeles Dodgers complete an improbable comeback in a winner-take-all Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays to repeat as World Series champions. Rojas hit the game-tying homer with one out in the top of ninth inning and later made a spectacular force play at home to prevent the Blue Jays from walking off the Dodgers."
"Rojas also helped the Dodgers stave off elimination in Game 6 with a couple of excellent defensive plays at second base and said afterward that he wanted to help the team any way possible. The 36-year-old did that in a big way as he became the first player to hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7."
