TORONTO — Hyun Jin Ryu hopes his sound pitching performance precipitates better times ahead for the Blue Jays.
Ryu was magnificent in a 3-0 Toronto win against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday to halt a three-game losing streak and provide the Blue Jays with only their second victory in nine outings.
The 34-year-old tossed seven scoreless innings, struck out five, allowed five hits and walked only one to earn his 12th win and tie him for the American League lead with Chris Bassitt of the Oakland Athletics and Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees.
"It felt like we turned it around today," Ryu said through a translator.
