Amidst the Dodgers win over the Marlins, Dave Roberts acknowledged the brilliance of the young righty on the mound.<\/p>\n

\"Los<\/p>\n

\n
In\u00a0a game that demanded precision and poise,\u00a0Landon Knack delivered.<\/p>\n

Then Dodgers manager Dave Roberts summed it up perfectly with a three-word review: \u201cLandon was fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knack was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to help the Dodgers navigate a grueling stretch of 19 games in 20 days.<\/p>\n

And in\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s 10-1 win over the Miami Marlins, the 27-year-old right-hander exceeded expectations. Pitching with minimal run support through his five innings, Knack kept Miami scoreless, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out four.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day was really just trying to attack, get ahead and stay on the attack the whole time,\u201d Knack said postgame. \u201cEverything felt pretty good today. Fastball location was great, curveball I was able to strike that, changeup was really going. I felt really good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Knack\u2019s command was on full display with a 66% zone rate on his four-seam fastball, well above MLB average. Even as the Dodgers struggled to solve Marlins starter Valente Bellozo through five innings, Knack kept the game close.<\/p>\n

Roberts sent Knack back out for the sixth, but after two quick singles to open the inning, he turned to Matt Sauer.<\/p>\n

The rookie reliever responded by inducing a double play and striking out Jesus S\u00e1nchez to preserve the Dodgers’ slim 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers put up six runs in the seventh, starting with a Hyeseong Kim RBI single.<\/p>\n

After an intentional walk to Shohei Ohtani loaded the bases, Mookie Betts walked in a run, and Freddie Freeman cleared the bases with a three-run triple.<\/p>\n

Andy Pages added an RBI single to push the lead to 7-0.<\/p>\n

Freeman extended his hitting streak to 12 games and is batting .478 (22-for-46) during that span.<\/p>\n

He and Ohtani have been electric in Miami, a place where both have consistently torched pitching. Ohtani, who tripled and scored the game\u2019s first run, is now a .394 hitter in eight career games at loanDepot Park.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sauer continued to cruise. He threw four scoreless innings and secured the rare four-inning save\u2014a huge bonus for a Dodgers bullpen needing rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the perfect outcome for us,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cKnack was going to go as long as he could, and Sauer came in and filled it up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

James Outman capped off the scoring with a three-run homer in the ninth. The only blemish on the day came in the bottom of the frame, when two defensive miscues allowed the Marlins to score their lone run. Still, Knack and Sauer combined to give the Dodgers exactly what they needed: innings, efficiency, and a bullpen break.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot when the manager believes in you like that,\u201d Knack said of Roberts\u2019 postgame praise. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to help the team however I can.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With performances like this, he\u2019s doing more than helping\u2014he\u2019s earning trust.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
