Knack (2-3) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Guardians.
Knack was called up to fill a spot in the Dodgers' downtrodden rotation while Clayton Kershaw (toe) and Gavin Stone (shoulder) are out of action. This was Knack's first big-league game since Aug. 13, and he was able to limit the Guardians to a two-run home run by Andres Gimenez in the sixth inning. Through 11 appearances (nine starts), Knack has given up more than two runs just twice. He's at a 3.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB through 54 innings. He'll likely get at least one more start, which is tentatively projected to come in Atlanta, though Knack could stick around longer if the Dodgers decide he's a better option than Bobby Miller.
