Luckily for him,\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0manager\u00a0Dave Roberts\u00a0was able to push the right buttons and pull off a 6-5 win,\u00a0the same score as the Dodgers&#8217; win on Tuesday night. Michael Conforto hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning and Tanner Scott secured the save in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Knack spoke with reporters from SportsNet LA about the game and his performance. He was grateful to Scott and the rest of the bullpen for keeping the game close. According to him, the Dodgers\u00a0don&#8217;t have any give up\u00a0in them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col items-center gap-5 px-5 pb-5\">\n<div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden h-auto\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1930773796585459835&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fmlb%2Flos-angeles-dodgers%2Fdodgers-news-landon-knack-sums-up-la-after-6-5-win-vs-mets&amp;sessionId=c150d17eea5a4312ff95c2c3aeedd0180a5c2aec&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1930773796585459835\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis team is full of dawgs,\u201d Knack said about Los Angeles. \u201cFor the bullpen to come in there and really hold it right there and for the bats, they can always swing it, so we&#8217;re never out of a game.

Luckily for him, the offense continues to be elite, including an awakening from Conforto.<\/p>\n<p>While Los Angeles&#8217; bullpen rarely sees as much work as they did on Thursday, they were ready. Knack only pitched 3.1 innings in his start, leaving the arms behind him a lot of innings to get through. They did so almost flawlessly, only giving up one more run to the Mets&#8217; offense before the offense came alive.<\/p>\n<p>After they secured the lead, Scott handled the ninth inning with no issue, securing his 11th save of the year. The win gives the Dodgers 38 on the season. They now hold a two game lead ahead of the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts hopes that he can rely on his team to fight until the bitter end in every single game. If they do, there is no reason to believe that they can not win back-to-back World Series titles.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Landon Knack had nothing but great things to say about his team after their win over the New York Mets.
