Hyun-Jin Ryu Turns In Strong Start, Andrew Toles And Justin Turner Help Carry Dodgers In Sweep Of Phillies

The first three batters of the game reached against Hyun-Jin Ryu, resulting in the Philadelphia Phillies taking an early lead, but he settled in from there and the Los Angeles Dodgers went on for a 5-3 win to complete a three-game sweep.

Ryu managed to minimize the damage in the first inning to just one run. He proceeded to retire eight in a row, including four by strikeout. The streak snapped when Daniel Nava worked a two-out walk in the third inning.

Nick Pivetta was knocked around early in his MLB debut, but similar to Ryu, prevented innings from spiraling out of control.
