Major League Baseball (MLB) Toronto Blue Jays Ryu Hyun-jin (34) failed to achieve 2 wins in the season. Lost by the Boston Red Sox strike line, the lead in the American League East.

Ryu Hyun-jin scored 4 runs in 5 innings against Boston in the away game held at Fenway Park in Boston, USA on the 21st (Korean time). I went down from the mound at the end of the sixth inning, 1-4. 8 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings. The season average ERA jumped from 1.89 to 3.00. With Toronto losing 2-4, Ryu Hyun-jin became a losing pitcher. Season 1 wins 2 losses.

Ryu Hyun-jin scored no goal until the third inning. He also hit the ball several times, but he passed it well by catching the out count. After being hit by a double hit by Zanderbogatz in the second inning, he caught three follow-up batters with a floating ball and a ground ball. In the third inning, he was hit left by leading batter Bobby Dalbeck, but he pulled out a bat from Kevin Flaweki to third baseman-1 baseman. Rather, in the 4th inning, Bissett hit a solo home run, leading Toronto 1-0.

Episode 4 was the problem. Allowed several long hits. After being hit by Christian Arroyo and JD Martinez in a row, Bogatz hit three stores. It was a big home run that quickly passed the green monster on the left wall, the symbol of Fenway Park. He gave Mawin Gonzalez a double and Dalbeck with a triple. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was hit by Arroyo’s double in the 5th inning, was in crisis again due to a mistake by shortstop Vissett, but did not contend with an additional goal.

I took a break for two more days than expected and started the game, but there was no restraint. Ryu Hyun-jin’s four-seam fastball average last year was 90.17 miles per hour (about 145.1 km). Even this season, he threw a ball over 90 miles per hour. However, this day was only 88.7 miles per hour (142.7 km). Ryu Hyun-jin said, “The restraint came out a bit low. However, I don’t think there is a big change. We prepared the same and played. After the 4th inning, I changed the pattern to a body-oriented game, but it didn’t fit well,” he explained.

As he said, Ryu Hyun-jin can cook a batter even if he is not fast-balling. To do that, you have to send four pitches (fastball, cut fastball, slider, changeup) to the course you want. But I couldn’t do that in the game on this day. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “If there is a ball that I want to return today, of course, the ball hit a home run.”

When he was hit by Bogatz’s home run in the fourth inning, his arrest went into force at 91.1 miles per hour. However, the high course was Hwageun. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “Actually, it was a ball that I was trying to play low, but it went a little high. I had to go higher to throw it high, but it’s a pity. Still, if you hit such a ball and hit a home run, you should consider the batter hitting well.”

The Boston hitter did not go over to Ryu Hyun-jin’s’timing fight’. He waited calmly, and didn’t miss out on the mismatch. Team batting average (0.288/21) and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage, 0.818) were the top team.
