Toronto Ryu Hyun-jin, 34, played a strong fight with a quality start plus (three pitches of more than 7 innings and less than 3 ERA) in the second start of this season, but was unable to receive support for scoring and suffered a first loss.
Ryu Hyun-jin scored 7 hits (1 home run) and 7 strikeouts and 2 runs in 7 innings against Texas at Globe Lifefield in Arlington, Texas on the 8th. However, the Toronto batting line drew only 1 point and lost 1-2 to become a losing pitcher. The average ERA for the season was lowered from 3.38 to 2.92.
Ryu Hyun-jin also scored only 2 points in 5.1 innings in the opening game against the New York Yankees on the 2nd, which was his first appearance in the season. MLB.com said, “Ryu Hyun-jin’s outstanding performance has gone to no avail due to the lack of hits.” Canadian media sportsnet said, “I showed why Hyunjin Ryu is the most important person. Ryu Hyun-jin pulled out 17 misses on this day with various pitches. Jegu was close to perfection as usual.”
Ryu Hyun-jin maintained a good pitching balance in the opening game. Of the 90 pitches in total, 68 strikes (75.6%). Gujong also varied, including four-seam fastballs (19), cutters (28), change-ups (30), curves (13), and the maximum restraint was 148km. The decision ball was a cutter that caught 4 out of 7 strikeouts. In a video interview after the game, Ryu Hyun-jin said, “I didn’t have to walk today. All pitches went well, and the change-up and left-handed hitter opponent’s cutter were good,” he said. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “It’s a much better performance than the first two games last year. The starting pitcher seems to be doing what he should do. Overall, it started out better than last year.”
Coach Charlie Monteyo also said, “Ryu Hyun-jin left a strong impression today. Even if he faces a crisis, he doesn’t panic.” I gave him a chance,” he said.
Ryu Hyun-jin struck out looking at leading batter Ai Jae-ah Geiner-Palepa by stabbing a 146 km four-seam deep inside her body, followed by David Dal in No. 2 and Joey Gallo, the signboard hitter.
Ok-e-tee was a home run once again. Nick Solak, the lead batter in the second inning, swung fiercely with a 143km four-seam on the second ball to create the first solo gun. The catcher’s mitt turned towards the body, but it was Ryu Hyun-jin’s misstep. Even in the Yankees battle, a mismatch in the middle was linked to a home run.
Ryu Hyun-jin treated the next batter Nate Low as an outfield fly, followed by Jose Trevino with a ground ball at shortstop. Toronto shortstop Marcus Semien managed to catch a deep ball, but first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was unable to catch it and allowed on base. It was recorded as an infield hit, not a mistake. Ryu Hyun-jin, who caught the next batter with a ground ball at third base, allowed a missed hit to Leodi Taberas at second base and gave the second point.
Ryu Hyun-jin then gave a heavy hit and was driven into the crisis of 2nd 1st and 3rd base, but shortstop Semien fell and caught Ai Jae-ah Kainer’s assault with a straight line, and escaped from the risk of additional concessions.

Ryu Hyun-jin sought stability from the 3rd inning and continued pitching without loss until the 6th. Even in the final crisis of the first and second bases, which was driven by seven consecutive hits, he ended the pitch without conceding.
