It was just the second home run of the season for Rojas and the first pinch-hit homer of the year for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Home runs were expected to be a regular occurrence for Tucker, but his first season since signing a four-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers has been a work in progress. Monday\u2019s outburst showed just what the front office had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Batting .235, with a .709 OPS that is well below his career mark of .852, Tucker had just five home runs this season when he lined a full-count changeup from Rays right-hander Nick Martinez just over the wall in right field to tie the score after an early three-run deficit.<\/p>\n<p>In what is expected to be the final season of his career, Rojas continues to show impeccable timing. His home run in Toronto in Game 7 last fall forced extra innings, where the Dodgers were able to win their second consecutive championship.<\/p>\n<p>There was far less at stake on Monday, although the surprise factor still resonated. Rojas had been dealing with a right ankle\/shin injury on the most recent road trip but still was able to get his plant foot down for his go-ahead home run against Rays left-hander Steven Matz.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=15421\">Angels\u2019 Walbert Ure\u00f1a pitches career-high 7 innings in loss to Diamondbacks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Rays were the team in control early when Junior Caminero delivered a two-out, first-inning double and Ryan Valade jumped on a first-pitch cutter from Dodgers left-hander Eric Lauer for a home run and a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tampa Bay made it 3-0 in the second inning on a squeeze bunt from Taylor Walls that followed a sacrifice bunt from Nick Fortes.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker tied it by himself in the bottom of the second. Mookie Betts led off the inning with a double and Max Muncy followed with a single. Tucker took the count full against Martinez before he lined his game-tying home run just over the wall in right.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker preserved the tie in the top of the third when he threw out Jonathan Aranda at home plate when he was trying to score from second base on a single to right by Ben Williamson.<\/p>\n<p>Lauer settled down to give up three runs on six hits over six innings with three walks and four strikeouts. Kyle Hurt (2-1) pitched a scoreless seventh to pick up the win, while left-hander Tanner Scott pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After completing a 3-3 trip to Pittsburgh and Chicago to face the White Sox, the Dodgers returned home to improve to 10-2 at home since a May 13 victory over the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=15419\">A race-by-race look at NASCAR\u2019s San Diego Weekend<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>More to come on this story.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucker hits a three-run home run and throws out a runner at home plate from right field, and Rojas hits a tiebreaking pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning as the Dodgers take the series opener, 4-3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
