Ryu Hyun-jin pitches first-ever shutout victory against Angels
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Ryu Hun-jin pitched a two-hitter on Wednesday for his first career shutout to lead his team past local rival the Los Angeles Angels 3-0.
Ryu struck out seven with no walks to register his sixth win of the season. His ERA dropped to 2.89. The South Korean also helped out on the offensive end, hitting a double at the bottom of the third inning.
The Dodgers went ahead when Luis Cruz hit a two-run home run in the top of the fifth and never relinquished the lead. The team scored again in the next inning thanks to a timely hit by A. J. Ellis.
The game marked a first complete-game shutout win for a Korean pitcher since 2005, when Kim Sun-Woo -- a then-member of the Colorado Rockies -- pitched a no-run win over the San Francisco Giants.
