Miguel Rojas said the Los Angeles Dodgers advanced on October 8, 2026, through a team-wide effort that included their offensive approach, pitching support and a decisive hit.
“It's a team effort,” Rojas said, while praising the Atlanta Braves organization for conducting a professional series. He credited the Dodgers' pitching staff with giving the Los Angeles Dodgers an opportunity to win by allowing the team to score enough runs.
Rojas noted that the Dodgers' preparation against the opposing pitcher, “getting the bats that we got,” helped create a key moment with a big hit. He added that “that approach is going to take us to where we want to get.”
Rojas emphasized the need to remain humble because baseball is difficult and unpredictable. During the celebration, he joked, “I'm trying to stay calm,” despite getting wet.
Rojas stated that the Los Angeles Dodgers had “the opportunity to repeat” and said that “being eight wins away to winning a World Series is a privilege.” The Dodgers advanced another series toward the World Series, an opportunity Rojas said the team would not take for granted.
