Rojas

Roki Sasaki gave up one run in five sturdy innings, but the Cubs handed the Dodgers a 16-0 loss that ended with infielder Miguel Rojas on the mound imitating teammates.

Infielder Miguel Rojas finished the eighth and pitched the ninth, emulating Sasaki’s delivery while tossing 40-mph pitches that the Cubs crushed for another five runs.

“Ever since last year when I got the opportunity to pitch, I was trying to imitate my teammates that I play behind,” Rojas said.

Asked to rate Rojas’ imitation, Sasaki laughed and said, “100%.”

Jayden Rojas, the reigning City player of the year, is starting to build up his arm strength.
