(Holy smokes, I had never really listened to these lyrics or understood the backstory. Yikes.
Landon Knack's major league debut wasn't that bad: 5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB and 4 Ks. But those two runs in the first were enough for the Nationals to coast to victory, facing a Dodgers lineup that was positively awful--shut out for the first time since July of last year. Here's the line score:
1 Betts 0-for-4
2 Ohtani 3-for-4--the only bright spot today
3 Freeman 0-for-3
4 Smith 0-for-4 with 2 Ks
5 Muncy 1-for-4 with a K
6 T Hernandez 0-for-3 with a 2 Ks
7 Outman / Hernandez: combined 1-for-3
8 Pages 0-for-3 with 2 Ks
9 Lux 0-for-3 with 2 Ks
That's a combined 5-for-31 with 8 Ks.
