Dodgers offense took advantage of opportunities

Dave Roberts' offense took advantage of its opportunities to manufacture runs. The team hit five extra-base hits (four doubles and a home run) to drive in the runs.

Miguel Rojas had a notable role after coming in as a pinch hitter for Alex Freeland and hitting a double that drove in two runs in the sixth inning.

Then, the Venezuelan infielder scored a run on a hit by Shohei Ohtani in the same inning.

Andy Pages has contributed in the last five games. The Cuban outfielder has a batting average of .294 with 5 hits, 2 home runs, 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored in his last 5 games.
