Knack (2-4) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.
After returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City last week and delivering a quality start against the Guardians, Knack stumbled out the gate in his second turn through the rotation, allowing three hits and one run in the first inning. Things didn't get better for the 27-year-old in the second inning, as he gave up four runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- before exiting after 64 pitches. Despite the lackluster showing, Knack should continue to hold a starting spot given the myriad injuries plaguing the Los Angeles rotation. He currently projects to face a much easier opponent in the Marlins on the road for his next start.
