It’s down to just Triple-A games for the Dodgers’ affiliates, and Landon Knack has demonstrated a knack for walking batters and stranding them lately.

Player of the day

Landon Knack went six innings, walked six, finished the season 6-6, with a 6.66 ERA, and for that next-level syxchronicity gets the POTD. The six-walk, no-run performance, along with the seven-walk, no-run performance from two starts ago, provides a departure from Knack’s normal method of operation, when he is at his best only when exhibiting pinpoint control.

Oklahoma City Comets

The Oklahoma City Comets defeated the Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners) 5-2 behind six shutout innings by Landon Knack. Alex Freeland hit a two-run homer as part of a four-run third inning that put the Comets ahead for good. Jose Ramos had three hits for the Comets, including a double and a home run, which put his Triple-A batting average at .300 in 140 at-bats and his OPS at .924. The comparison to his .221batting average and .688 OPS in 213 Double-A at-bats highlights the difference in league batting characteristics.
