Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays' Ryu Hyun-jin (34) overcame the bad weather and achieved 5 wins in the season.
Ryu Hyun-jin started for the 10th season in a visiting match against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, and scored 6 strikeouts in 5 innings and scored 4 hits and 2 runs.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who threw 91 balls, handed the mound to Trent Thornton in the 6th inning, which was 11-2, and the match ended with the rain cold in the 7th inning, 11-1 in Toronto, and Ryu Hyun-jin won the victory in 10 days.
Hyunjin Ryu's average ERA rose slightly from 2.53 to 2.62.
Ryu Hyun-jin first encountered a chilly weather unlike the end of May at the Progressive Field.
According to MLB.com's Game Day, at the start of the game, a strong wind of 11.18m/sec from the outfield was blown toward the home at the start of the game, and Hyunjin Ryu's uniform top and bottom on the mound were constantly swaying in the wind.
Before the match, the temperature was only 10 degrees Celsius in cloudy weather, and the temperature felt by the strong wind was a single digit.
Even raindrops fell during the game, and Cleveland coaches, including coach Terry Franco and Cleveland, wore late fall or early winter jumpers.
In such an unpredictable weather, Ryu Hyun-jin struggled with throwing 32 balls in one game only.
Ryu Hyun-jin was hit by the top hitter Cesar Hernandez.
In addition, after one-out, Jose Ramirez hit left and allowed Arold Ramirez to walk to the bottom, and Eddie Rosario, who hit 4 home runs, scored 2 points.
In the following one-out first and third base, he struck out Owen Miller and took a sigh, but again walked to Josh Naylor.
For the first time this season, he allowed two walks in one match.
Canadian broadcasters commented that Ryu Hyun-jin cannot properly throw his long-term change-up in such a weather.
Ryu Hyun-jin managed to finish the inning with first baseman foul fly by right-handed batter Zhang Yu-chung from Taiwan.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin began to find stability from the second inning, when a tie was scored 2 to 2 with the support of other ships.
In the second inning, he pulled out two strikeouts and cooked the three batters lightly, and in the third to fourth innings, he continued a zero-run streak with 25 balls.
In the fifth inning, where he met the Cleveland hitter for the third time, he stopped with a triple offense, and boasted his experience of returning 8 batters in a row from the 5th batter Eddie Rosario in the 3rd.
Toronto hitters also did a good job.
In the first and third base, which was tied with two hits in the second inning, he followed one point with a ground ball from Santiago Espinal, followed by a two-to-two tie with Danny Janson's left-middle double in the two-out second base.
It was a lucky double that came from Cleveland center fielder Arold Ramirez misjudged the drop spot in a strong wind.
Toronto supported Ryu Hyun-jin hotly by scoring four points in three consecutive long hits, including Randall Grichic's left-middle double, Lourdes Guriel's left-hand double, and Joe Panic's superior two-run home run in the third two-out third base.
Cleveland starter Eli Morgan, who made his big league debut, couldn't stand Toronto's bat.
Toronto added three points with four consecutive hits, including two doubles in the five innings ahead of 6-2, and pushed Cleveland far away with 11-2 by adding two points with Espinal's doubles in the sixth inning.
And the game that was interrupted due to rain during the attack of Cleveland at the end of the 7th inning could not be resumed in the end, and Ryu Hyun-jin's 5 wins of the season were completed.
