<Reporter> In
the tropical night in Baltimore, where the humidity was over 80% and 31 degrees Celsius, Hyunjin Ryu was sweating profusely.
The average speed of the fastball was about 2km faster than usual, and the main weapon changeup control was also stabilized, leading to a vain swing of the Baltimore batters.
He sent out a runner every inning except for the 4th inning, but he induced the second-highest 14 swings this season, striking out 7 up to the 5th and overcoming the crisis.
The help of colleagues who enjoyed the 'Korean food dinner' prepared by Hyun-Jin Ryu yesterday (7th) also helped.
After conceding one point in the fifth inning, right fielder Hernandez, who caught a deep floating ball in the continuing crisis of one-out third base, threw a no-bound ball into the home, caught the third base runner and finished the inning in an instant.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who finished the mission with cheers, received support from the other team that picked 10 points and took the 8th win of the season.
