Blake Snell took the mound in Game 6 of the World Series and dominated the Dodgers’ bats until Kevin Cash’s numbers dictated the ace could do so no longer.
He was magnificent across his five and a third innings of work during which he struck out nine, walked none, allowed two hits and was eventually credited with one run — which was surrendered after he left he game.
The Blake Snell that took the mound last night was the Blake Snell that Rays fans had longed for since the end of the 2018 season. Featuring a devastating four pitch mix, Snell reminded the baseball world why he won the Cy Young award in 2018, and that he has some of the purest, filthiest “stuff” of any starting pitcher in baseball.
