"shakes"
Ryu Hyun-jin started the home game against the Texas Rangers in the 2023 Major League at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 13th (Korea Standard Time).
Ryu Hyun-jin, who easily cleared the Texas table setter with a fly ball and a ground ball in the top of the first inning, allowed Robbie Grossman, the third batter, to get on base for the first time with a walk after a full count game. However, he handled the next batter Mitch Garber with a catcher's foul fly ball in two pitches and passed the first inning without a crisis.
Episodes 2 and 3 were perfect. Ryu Hyun-jin, who handled leadoff hitter Jonah Haim with a ground ball with the help of third baseman Cavan Vizio's good defense in the top of the second inning, finished the second inning with a three-way exit, dealing with both Nudaniel Lowe and Ezekiel Duran. Ryu Hyun-jin, who also finished the third inning with a fly ball, strikeout, and ground ball to shortstop, continued his no-hit streak in three innings.
However, he failed to overcome the crisis in the fourth inning. Ryu Hyun-jin threw a first-pitch cutter to leadoff hitter Corey Seager in the top of the fourth inning to allow a heavy hit. Ryu Hyun-jin also threw a first-ball cutter against Grossman, who allowed his first on-base hit with a walk in the first inning, and Grossman pulled the ball from the body and connected it with a two-run home run over the left fence. It was Ryu Hyun-jin's sixth home run of the season and his fourth consecutive home run.
After the first run, Ryu Hyun-jin quickly regained stability. Ryu Hyun-jin, who handled No. 4 hitter Garber with a grounder to shortstop, hit a heavy hit by the next batter Haim, but later struck out Lowe with a curve and scored his second out count. He then induced a grounder to shortstop in three pitches against Duran to finish the fourth inning.
Meanwhile, Toronto, where Ryu Hyun-jin gave up two runs first, was blocked by Texas starter Max Scherzer and is being dragged 0-2 as of the fourth inning.
