Despite some control issues, Knack’s solid 6.0 innings on the mound, coupled with five strikeouts, effectively limited the Nationals’ offense.

Meanwhile, the Nationals, amidst their rebuilding phase, currently stand at 10-13 but remain hopeful for the future. The Dodgers and Nationals are set to face off once again on Thursday afternoon, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-1, 4.50 ERA) taking the mound against MacKenzie Gore (2-1, 3.60 ERA) at 4:05 p.m. ET.https://www.highcpmgate.com/huweqnyxks?key=02ff0bf01860d124fb976c01a6663a4a
