Rojas, coming off the bench for Alex Freeland, blasted a 380-foot solo homer to left-center field, breaking a 3-3 tie and giving the Dodgers a lead they wouldn’t give up.

It was his only at-bat of the night, though he also made a slick defensive play at second base.
Rojas was joined in going yard by Kyle Tucker, who hit a three-run homer in the second inning to tie up what had been a 3-0 Rays lead.
