ARLINGTON, Texas — It seems to be a dream setup for a modern front office, a chance to write the script for the game that clinches a title. On the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday: Tony Gonsolin, who served as an opener for a band of six relievers — three lefties and three righties — in his start last week.

“I personally have no idea with Gonsolin — I know he’s capable of many pitches, I don’t know exactly if that’s the route they’re going to take,” said Kevin Cash, the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, on Monday’s off day.
