ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tampa Bay’s stable was a little shaky — and still managed to close out Game 2 of the World Series.

The Rays had to lean on their bullpen after ace Blake Snell faded, with Diego Castillo getting the save after Aaron Loup retired each of his three batters in Tampa Bay’s 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

The group manager Kevin Cash described as a “a whole damn stable of guys who throw 98 miles per hour” helped carry the Rays to their first World Series win since 2008. But the relief corps haven’t been quite so dominant in this Fall Classic.

Nick Anderson and Pete Fairbanks each surrendered a solo homer as the Dodgers closed to 6-4 heading to the ninth. And that’s after two inherited runners scored to help Los Angeles take a comfortable lead in Game 1 when starter Tyler Glasnow left in the fifth inning of Tampa Bay’s 8-3 loss.

But it was enough, with Castillo getting his third save this postseason on a strikeout of Chris Taylor, who checked his swing and was called out by first base umpire Chris Guccione.

Snell became the only other pitcher besides Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax to strike out at least eight without allowing a hit in the first four innings of a World Series game. The lefty faded after allowing Taylor’s two-run homer in the fifth and was gone two batters later.

Like Snell, all four relievers behind him made their World Series debuts.

Anderson (1-0) got the win, with Goslin (0-1) taking the loss for L.A.

After a night off, the series resumes Friday night. Walker Buehler takes the mound for the Dodgers. Charlie Morton gets the ball for Tampa Bay.
