In a head-spinning span of four batters Wednesday night, Blake Snell had gone from no-no to no-go. The Dodgers, who had been silent for 4 2/3 innings, suddenly had two runs on the board and the tying run at the plate in the fifth inning of Game 2 of the World Series. So Rays manager Kevin Cash expelled Snell and turned to the bullpen crew affectionately known as “The Stable.”

On a night when the Rays enjoyed a two-homer awakening from Brandon Sport Logo Iron On Transfers Lowe and evened up the best-of-seven World Series with a 6-4 Cleveland Indians custom iron on transfers win at Globe Life Field, having a more “Stable” pitching plan than their opponent made the biggest difference of all. Tampa Bay got the big outs late, whereas Los Angeles struggled to get any outs early.

If the small-budget Rays had an advantage on the daunting Dodgers going into this Series, it rested in, well, rest. Both League Championship Series went the distance -- an exhausting seven games in seven days. But the Rays clinched their pennant on Saturday night time in San Diego, the Dodgers on Sunday evening in Arlington.

Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts had a rested Clayton Kershaw at his October best in Game 1, yet there were no fresh starters available for this one. And so Roberts took a piecemeal approach.

Lowe, who entered the game just 6-for-56 this postseason, and the rest of the Rays ate it up.

By the time the Dodgers came to bat in the fifth inning, they had used four pitchers -- Tony Gonsolin (who was a “starter” in name only, having been lifted after four outs), Dylan Floro, Victor González and Dustin May -- and allowed five runs. covid-19 design Customized Logo Lowe’s first homer -- a solo shot off Gonsolin in the 1st -- set the tone. And his second -- a two-operate opposite-field blast on a May curveball in the top of the 5th -- gave the Rays a commanding 5-0 edge.
