In the finale, versus Israel, he relieved Spencer Kreisberg in the bottom of the 5th with one on, no outs and a scoreless game. He promptly served up a homer to Blake Gailen then walked Zach Borenstein. Rei Martinez relieved and Borenstein wound up scoring, as Knowles had an infinite ERA for the event.
