Ryu Hyun-jin’s skill shined brighter as the number of runners increased.

In the second inning, with runners on second and third base and no outs due to consecutive hits, Ryu Hyun-jin’s choice was a direct match.

He induced a ground ball and prevented a run with shortstop Bo Bichette’s quick and accurate throw home.

The two right-handed hitters then handled the fly ball with an outside change-up, and Ryu Hyun-jin successfully overcame the first crisis.

In the third inning, he faced a crisis with no outs on second and third base, but Ryu Hyun-jin, who had caught his breath, did not allow a timely hit.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who showed off his outstanding crisis management skills, was replaced in the 5th inning with a 1-0 lead and one out left to protect the player.

Although he gave up 6 hits in 4 2/3 innings and did not allow any runs or win or lose, Ryu Hyun-jin’s good pitching was enough to set the stage for Toronto’s dramatic walk-off victory in the bottom of the 9th inning.
