Knehr (1-0) allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk while striking out one across two innings, earning the win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Knehr was called up prior to Sunday's game to fill innings in the scheduled bullpen game. He entered in the third inning in a tie game and allowed a run in the third frame on a Ketel Marte triple. However, the Padres scored three in the fifth frame to take the lead and put Knehr in line for the win. The 24-year-old has allowed just one run in 6.1 innings over his past three appearances. On the season, he has a 2.77 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 13 innings.
