Hyun-jin Ryu had a rough time in his first major league game in six seasons, and the Dodgers dropped their opener against the Padres, 6-0 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium, the third straight defeat from LA.
Melvin Upton Jr. homered against Ryu to open the first inning, starting Ryu's comeback on an auspicious note. The left-hander had his ups and downs, looking good with his four strikeouts and six ground ball outs.
But there were also some pitches that were tattooed, like the home run to Upton or the RBI double off the left field wall in the fourth inning by Alexei Ramirez.
