Ryu Hyun-jin, who started in front of 50,000 home fans, was hit after one out in the top of the first inning
He allowed a solo home run as his 141km fastball thrown at No. 2 hitter Raminez went high
Ryu Hyun-jin, who gave up the first run, however, revived his unique experienced pitching from the second inning
At the top of the second inning, he struck out a cutter and a change-up ball in a row and finished the inning lightly

Ryu Hyun-jin, who safely overcame the one-out, third base crisis in the third inning, cooked the Cleveland batters with a three-way exit in the fourth inning, but allowed Freeman, who came in for the first curve in the top of the fifth inning, a second solo home run
What was more disappointing was Toronto’s infield defense in the 6th inning
The third baseman and shortstop made a series of errors in ground balls that could induce double play, which quickly led to a no-out full base crisis, and eventually, Ryu Hyun-jin, who had 70 pitches, was replaced
The relief pitcher gave up a point with a ball that hit his body, but it was not recorded as Ryu Hyun-jin’s own score, and Toronto overcame the crisis well without additional runs
Starting with Schneider’s two-run shot in the first inning, Toronto’s batters, which began to ignite for the first time in a long time, also secured a victory by scoring three more runs in the bottom of the seventh inning when they were unstable, helping Ryu Hyun-jin win three consecutive games
Two home runs were disappointing, but he had only four hits and struck out five 스포츠토토
Still, the maximum speed was only 146 kilometers, but the fantastic combination of fastballs, changeups, curves and cutters became a powerful weapon to break the team’s three consecutive losses
Despite art pitching, his first quality start of the season failed due to a defensive error, but Ryu Hyun-jin is playing the role of the reliable eldest brother of the team that continues his baseball dream in the fall
