LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched four-hit ball into the eighth inning of his latest dominant outing, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-0 win over the New York Mets on Thursday night.
Chris Taylor tripled off hard-luck loser Jason Vargas to start the bottom of the first and scored when Max Muncy followed with a double. That was all the offense for either team until Kiké Hernández singled home an insurance run with two outs in the eighth.
Ryu (8-1) struck out seven and walked one in 7 2/3 innings, lowering his major league-best ERA to 1.
