“It was sharp and efficient.”
Toronto Blue Jays Ryu Hyun-jin started on the 27th (Korean time) at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the 2023 major league Cleveland Guardians home match and pitched for 5 innings. 70 pitches, 4 hits (2 home runs), 5 strikeouts, 3 runs (2 earned), and got his 3rd win of the season. His earned run average slightly increased from 1.89 to 2.25.카지노사이트
Even until he returned to the mound in the major leagues on the 2nd during a hiatus of more than a year due to Tommy John surgery, it was difficult to find the same appearance from Ryu Hyun-jin as in previous years. But he rode the current very well. It is Ryu Hyun-jin who shows that even if his ball is not fast, he can cook hitters with only elaborate control and command.
It was on the 8th that Ryu Hyun-jin fired the signal flare of resurrection. He pitched four innings of ‘no hit’ against Cleveland. Afterwards, against the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, despite the misfortune of not being able to get help from the defense for two consecutive games, he showed pitching 5 innings and 2 runs (withdrawal) and ran for 2 individual wins in a row, and in a situation where the team fell into a swamp of 3 consecutive losses, he became a ‘savior’. It did its job well.
As a result, it was the best achievement, but the process was not smooth. Ryu Hyun-jin started the game with a solo home run off Jose Ramirez from the start of the first inning. However, Ryu Hyun-jin recorded his first three-way offense in the second inning, and then overcame the crisis of second base safely in the third inning, saving the number of pitches until the fourth inning, tying up Cleveland’s batting line. And in the fifth inning, he hit a one-run home run again. Although there were two home runs and a tee in the ok, the pitching was not bad until the 5th inning.
Ryu Hyun-jin has never stepped on the mound until the 6th inning since the game against Baltimore on the 2nd. Even in a situation where there was room in the number of pitches as well as the score difference, the Toronto bench did not entrust Ryu Hyun-jin with the 6th inning. However, the recent pitching was good, and on this day, as well as showing a look worthy of the modifier ‘vintage type’, I was given the opportunity to climb the mound once again in the 6th inning. But it was about to become a nightmare.
Ryu Hyun-jin started the inning with a hit by lead hitter Cole Calhoun in the 6th inning, and succeeded in inducing a ground ball to third baseman by Ramiré iq, the follow-up hitter. And it seemed to be connected to two outcounts as it was connected by double play. However, when third baseman Matt Chapman made a catch error, he faced a crisis on first and second base. The problem is that the mistake didn’t stop at once.
Ryu Hyun-jin also induced a ground ball to Oscar Gonzalez on the first and second bases. And this was also a ball that should have led to an outcount. But this time, shortstop Santiago Espinal made a mistake, and Ryu Hyun-jin faced a crisis with bases loaded, and the Toronto bench, which had recently been swamped by three consecutive losses, was forced to move.
Lee Mi-mi Garcia, who inherited the baton from Ryu Hyun-jin, gave the first batter, Ramon Loriano, a ball that fit the body, and Ryu Hyun-jin’s own score increased to 3 points. However, as Garcia struck out all three batters that followed, and Ryu Hyun-jin could have finished the inning without a run if there had been no mistake when reconstructing the inning, the third run was changed to a ‘visa fault’.
Therefore, Ryu Hyun-jin was unable to record a quality start (less than 3 earned runs in 6 innings), but came down the mound with 3 runs in 5 innings (2 earned runs), and after receiving full help from the other line, in May 2021 After the match between Auckland on the 7th and the Atlanta Braves on the 13th and the Boston Red Sox on the 19th, he won three consecutive individual wins in 842 days and saved Toronto from a three-game losing streak.
He had two home runs, but ‘praise’ followed as he performed enough to lead the team to victory. Keegan Matheson, in charge of Toronto at ‘MLB.com’, said, “Ryu Hyun-jin threw 70 pitches and finished the mound. The last two ground balls should have all been outcounted,” expressing regret over the defensive mistake, but “allowed two home runs. It was difficult for Ryu Hyun-jin, but overall it was sharp and efficient.”
And Matheson also praised Garcia, who reduced Ryu Hyun-jin’s earned points and prevented the biggest crisis. Matheson said, “After giving up the ball with the bases loaded, Garcia completely hacked Cleveland’s batting line and escaped the crisis,” and “the bullpen saved Toronto once again.”
