• Ryu Hyun-jin, 5 Innings Against Cleveland, 3 Runs, 2 Earned... Toronto's Defense is Disappointing

Failed to achieve QS due to Toronto infielder's mistake in the 6th inning... Get the victory requirements

Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays) failed to achieve a quality start (QS, 6 innings or more, 3 earned runs or less) due to a series of errors by the Toronto infield in the 6th inning.

However, the winning pitcher requirements were met.  스포츠토토

Ryu Hyun-jin started on the 27th (Korean time) in the 2023 US Professional Baseball Major League home game against the Cleveland Guardians held at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, giving up 4 hits and allowing 3 runs (2 earned) in 5 innings.

He did not give up a single walk and struck out five.

Ryu Hyun-jin's season ERA slightly deteriorated from 1.89 to 2.25.

On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin gave up two solo home runs, but he made an effective pitch with an exquisite mix of curveball and changeup.

Blocked up to 5 innings with 60 balls, and achieved QS in 646 days after the game against the Cincinnati Reds on May 21, 2022 (6 hits, 6 hits, no runs) on May 21, 2022, before undergoing left elbow ligament joint surgery, was also worth aiming for.

Ryu Hyun-jin gave up a right-handed hit to Cole Calhoun, the first batter in the 6th inning, leading 5-2.

The next batter, Jose Ramirez, induced an infield ground ball, but Toronto third baseman Matt Chapman made a catch error.

On second base, Ryu Hyun-jin guided Oscar Gonzalez to a grounder in the infield, but shortstop Santiago Espinal missed the ball this time.

With two mistakes in a row, Toronto was in danger of being loaded safely, and Ryu Hyun-jin had already passed the mound to Garcia.

Pitching coach Pete Walker approached and comforted Hyun-jin Ryu, who came into the dugout, and Hyun-jin Ryu replied with a grin.

Garcia allowed Ramon Loreano to push the ball, and Hyun-Jin Ryu's run increased to three.

The third point was 'visa blame' due to an error.

Fortunately, Loreano struck out all three batters afterwards, and Ryu Hyun-jin kept the winning pitcher requirement.

Although he failed to achieve QS, Ryu Hyun-jin exquisitely mixed his curveball and changeup that day to effectively block Cleveland's lineup.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was on the operating table on June 19 last year, made a big league comeback against the Baltimore Orioles on August 2 this year, and continues his good fight.

His departure was rather unsettling.

Ryu Hyun-jin threw a 141 km/h fastball to Ramirez after one shot in the first inning, then allowed a solo home run that went over the left wall.

The ball flew 119m at 167.7 km/h.

Ryu Hyun-jin gave up an earned run in 15 innings in 4 games after allowing a home run to Gunner Henderson in the 6th inning against Baltimore (5 innings, 9 hits, 4 runs) on August 2, when he returned from elbow surgery.

The streak of unanswered runs ended with 14 innings.

Ryu Hyun-jin did not give up an earned run in the games against Cleveland on the 8th (4 hits, no runs in 4 innings), Chicago Cubs on the 14th (2 hits, 2 runs in 5 innings, unaccounted for), and Cincinnati Reds (4 hits, 2 runs in 5 innings, no runs allowed) on the 21st.

He gave up a home run unfortunately, but Ryu Hyun-jin struck out Gonzalez and treated Loreano as a floating ball to second baseman, changing the atmosphere.

The Toronto lineup scored three runs at the end of the first inning, giving Ryu Hyun-jin strength.

After that, Ryu Hyun-jin continued his good fight march.

He blocked the second inning with a three-way offense, and even after being hit by a double by lead batter Cam Gallagher in the third inning, he prevented an additional run by beating the follow-up batter.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was also treated as a three-way offense in the 4th inning, gave a left-handed solo shot to Gabriel Arias after one shot in the 5th inning, leading 5-1, but did not shake after that.

Although Toronto added one more run due to an error by Toronto’s infielders, Ryu Hyun-jin will take his third win (one loss) of the season if Toronto, which started an attack at the bottom of the 6th inning with a 5-3 lead, won’t allow a tie.
