Dodgers shake off Landon Knack’s rocky start, avoid sweep by Nationals

WASHINGTON — When the Dodgers boasted of their starting pitching depth leading into this season, All-Stars like Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin were the arms they had in mind.

None of those three are ready to pitch in the big leagues yet, so the Dodgers turned to a different level of the depth chart this week, starting Justin Wrobleski and Landon Knack in back-to-back against the Washington Nationals.

Those two combined to allow 13 runs on 12 hits and seven walks in 7⅓ innings.
