Miguel Rojas hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to bring the Los Angeles Dodgers within one run of the Houston Astros, narrowing the score to 5-4 during their game on July 6, 2025. Despite some defensive errors earlier in the game, Rojas's offensive contribution helped the Dodgers close the gap. In a separate game on July 9, 2025, the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh inning, aided by a sacrifice fly from Mookie Betts that scored Rojas. The Dodgers had the bases loaded twice in the seventh but only managed to extend their lead by one run. Relief pitcher Ben Casparius then recorded five outs before being replaced by Tanner Scott in the eighth inning, who successfully escaped a jam with a runner at second base and two outs, aiming to complete a four-out save to preserve the Dodgers' lead.
