Today's Game: The Oklahoma City Comets play the final game of their nine-game road trip at 3:05 p.m. CT against the Reno Aces at Greater Nevada Field...The Comets secured a series win with a victory last night and have the opportunity today to win five games within a series for the third time this season...Oklahoma City is 7-1 since the All-Star Break.

Last Game: Rehabbing Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell threw 4.2 scoreless innings, Hunter Feduccia drove in four runs and the Oklahoma City Comets pitching staff carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning during a 5-1 win over the Reno Aces Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field. Feduccia's first RBI occurred on a single in the second inning to give the Comets a 1-0 lead. Ryan Ward added a RBI single in the third inning to make it 2-0. Feduccia blasted a two-run homer in the sixth inning and delivered another RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Comets a 5-0 advantage. Snell did not allow a run or hit across 4.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Relievers José Rodríguez and Garrett McDaniels followed Snell with a combined 3.1 hitless innings and retired all 10 batters, as the Comets held Reno without a hit through eight innings. However, Albert Almora led off the bottom the ninth inning with a triple to right-center field and later scored on a wild pitch, representing the Aces' only run and hit of the night.

Today's Probable Pitcher: Landon Knack (3-2) makes his second appearance following the All-Star Break and first start...Knack last pitched in relief July 20 in Sacramento, piggybacking Blake Snell's rehab start.

He was credited with the win as OKC came back to win the game, 5-4...He last started July 10 against Sugar Land and equaled his season-high mark with seven runs allowed (six earned) and allowed a season-high three home runs as he was charged with the loss...Since his most recent option to OKC in early June, Knack has allowed 34 runs (32 ER) and 41 hits over 35.0 IP across seven games, with opponents batting .295 with seven homers. He's allowed at least four runs in five of the seven outings and at least five runs in four of the seven games...He has also made nine appearances (seven starts) with the Los Angeles Dodgers this season (3-2, 5.12 ERA)...He split time with OKC and Los Angeles in 2024, going on to appear in 15 ML games (12 starts), posting a 3.65 ERA with 69 K's and 18 walks. Knack made three postseason appearances, including Game 4 of the World Series.
