Ryu Hyun-jin wants to go the distance whenever he starts a game. However, he failed to get to the fourth inning in two straight starts. Ryu Hyun-jin is suffering from slump for the first time since September of 2017.
Last Friday, Ryu gave up two homers in two-plus frames against Minnesota. Also, the Twins won 7-3. The left-hander gave up five hits, four of which went for additional bases. In addition, it came after a bad start last Saturday against Baltimore. Ryu gave up seven runs on eight hits in two and one-third innings.
According to online sports betting reports, Ryu has a 13-9 standing. Also, his ERA is 4.34. In 2017, he got his worst ERA of 3.77 with a record of 5-9 in 25 matches. The South Korean pitcher was with the Dodgers during that time.
Ryu Hyun-jin is Suffering from Slump
In 2021, Ryu was the weakest link in the Blue Jays rotation. According to betting odds experts, The Blue Jays were trying to win the Wild Card race.
Ryu told sports betting reviews and news sites that he didn’t go back to his 2017 self. Also, he said that he is not suffering from any physical problems. At present, he is not just doing an excellent job as a starter.
Ryu had five days of rest coming into the game against the Twins. In the past, he had done better with the additional day of rest. However, it didn’t help because he made several pitching mistakes against Minnesota.
Minnesota scored a run in the second inning. Also, they got four additional runs in the third inning. The Twins got a single-double-homer-homer off Ryu. The Toronto coaching staff replaced him without a single out in the third frame.
Ryu doesn’t want to skip a turn in the rotation. Also, he said the thought hasn’t entered his mind and hopes he gets to start during his next turn.
