Shellacked in loss

Knack (2-4) took the loss Friday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.

Analysis

After collecting his second quality start in his last outing, Knack stumbled out the gate in this contest, allowing three hits and one run in the first inning. Things didn't get better for the 27-year-old in the second, as he gave up four runs on four hits -- including two homers -- before exiting after 64 pitches. Knack should continue to hold a rotation spot despite this lackluster performance given the myriad of injuries plaguing Dodgers pitchers. He currently projects to face a much easier opponent, the Marlins, on the road for his next start.
