LOS ANGELES, CA — Dodgers standout Miguel Rojas recently opened up about the electrifying run the team has been on, attributing much of their success to a mix of momentum and a bit of superstition tied to his own performance at the plate. The Dodgers’ shortstop has been a beacon of consistency throughout the season, and his daily contributions have started to feel like a talisman for the squad.
“Every time I step up to the plate and manage to get a hit, it seems to bring us good fortune,” Rojas reflected. This belief has been bolstered by his tangible impact on the field, with the Dodgers amassing an impressive string of victories.
Rojas also took a moment to praise the recent efforts of pitcher Tyler Glasnow, whose performance came at a crucial time for the team, especially on the tail end of a grueling 13-game run without a day off. Glasnow’s decision to incorporate a greater variety of breaking balls has turned out to be a game-changer for the Dodgers, allowing them to close out this tough stretch with a win.
The shortstop shared an intriguing bit about a streak that has caught the attention of the team: whenever Rojas nets a hit, the Dodgers have tallied up 22 consecutive wins. Initially, this statistic was a point of amusement within the clubhouse, but as the streak has persisted, it’s become a source of motivation for Rojas and his teammates. “I heard about it in New York, and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since,” he commented, expressing hope that this run could extend even further, potentially reaching an astronomical 40 consecutive wins.
Early-season challenges, particularly issues getting production from the latter half of the batting order, have been overcome according to Rojas. He pointed out the resurgence of Chris Taylor, among others, as a critical factor in the team’s ability to turn things around. Rojas remains confident, noting, “Sooner or later, everyone finds their groove.”
With the Dodgers facing a packed schedule ahead, Rojas acknowledged the challenges but expressed optimism about the team’s direction. “We’ve got a new series of games starting soon, and despite the back-and-forth travel, we’re playing great baseball,” he stated.
