Los Angeles Dodgers to start Tony Gonsolin opposite Tampa Bay Rays’ Blake Snell in World Series Game 6

The Dodgers spent Monday, what could be their final day before becoming World Series champions, isolated from the world in a resort outside Dallas. It was their 25th day in the bubble.

The hotel has become home for this strange playoff run. It wasn’t how they envisioned ending their 32-year title drought, but 2020 doesn’t care for expectations or convenience.

They would like nothing more than to end their residency after Game 6 of the World Series at Globe Life Field on Tuesday night.

The Dodgers hold a three-games-to-two series lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. A fourth win separates them from their first championship since 1988. Orel Hershiser, that year’s National League Cy Young Award winner, threw all nine innings in the title-clinching Game 5 against the Oakland Athletics.

On Tuesday, the Dodgers will give the ball to Tony Gonsolin, a rookie making his 17th career start.

“Try to not put more pressure on myself than there already is,” Gonsolin said. “I’ll try to go out there and throw the ball to the best of my ability. Nothing changes.”

Blake Snell, the 2018 American League Cy Young Award winner, will start for the Rays. The left-hander carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning in Game 2 but didn’t survive the fifth. He gave up two runs on two hits. He walked four and struck out nine.

Gonsolin said he was told he would start Game 6, if there was one, after he opened Game 2 opposite Snell. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin will be a conventional starter, not an opener again.

Game 6 will be the first time he will start on regular rest since he logged six innings in his final start of the regular season against the Angels a month ago.
