For the second time this year, Cardinals Kim and Blue Jays Ryu are the starting pitchers for their respective teams on the same day. Toronto Blue Jays will host the New York Yankees on Tuesday at the Sahlen Field in Buffalo, NY.
On the same day, St. Louis Cardinals will play against Miami Marlins. It is the first start for Kim Kwang-hyun after returning from injury. According to sports news reports, Kim was out for ten days due to lower back tightness.
The two South Korean pitchers started on June 4. Unfortunately, they both lost during that day. According to Korean sports betting sources, Ryu Hyun-jin gave out seven runs in 5 2/3 innings, which was his worst in the season. Thus, the Blue Jays lost to the Astros, 13-1. Also, Ryu gave out two homers and three walks.

On June 4, Kim left the game in the fourth inning due to a back injury. Also, the Cardinals were losing 3-0 against the Cincinnati Reds. Kim gave out two home runs within the first four innings. His team eventually lost to the Reds. It was Kim’s fourth straight loss.
Kim got the injury after trying to swat a groundball in his at-bat in the third inning. Also, it was the same back problem that made the pitcher miss some time at the start of the season.
According to sports betting experts, Ryu lost his next game last Thursday. The Blu Jays faced Chicago White Sox, and Ryu gave out three runs in the first inning alone. However, he held Chicago to two singles in the next five innings. Unfortunately, Ryu didn’t have any support from the lineup. As a result, Toronto lost 5-2. Also, Ryu’s record dropped to 5-4 with an ERA of 3.34.
