The NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets is now tied after the Mets' victory. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pointed out the difficulties faced by their star, Shohei Ohtani, in Game 2 of the MLB Postseason.

He hoped Knack could eat up innings and serve as an early-innings bridge to the Dodgers’ four high-leverage relievers.

Heading into Game 2 of the NLCS, the Los Angeles Dodgers were in the middle of a postseason record-tying 33 consecutive opposing scoreless innings — with their pitching turning the narrative of their playoff reputation around.
