Landon Knack has emerged as a key player for the Los Angeles Dodgers amidst a series of injuries in their rotation. He delivered a solid six-inning performance but ultimately fell short to Matthew Boyd of the Cleveland Guardians, who restricted the Dodgers to just one run.
Despite a valiant effort, the injury-riddled Dodgers suffered their second consecutive loss, which narrowed their lead in the National League West over the San Diego Padres.
Notably, Shohei Ohtani hit his 45th home run of the season, while the Dodgers faced additional setbacks with injuries affecting both their pitching and batting lines.
