The Dodgers will play against the San Diego Padres on Friday at Dodger Stadium, which are ranked the lowest in the West Division of the National League. During the 2013/2014 season, Ryu took the plate against the Padres five times, chalking up a remarkable record of four wins and no loss with the ERA at 0.84. The Dodgers are in an urgent need of a starting pitcher, owing to the absence of their ace Clayton Kershaw, who is suffering from back injury.
Choo Shin-soo (34), the Korean slugger of the Texas Rangers, pulled off two hits and three runs in five at-bats against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, on the back of a single home run in the top of the first inning. In fact, Choo has hit three homers in the first innings as lead-off batter out of the six home runs that he has recorded this season.
Closing pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals Oh Seung-hwan (34) sealed his second save this season against the Milwaukee Brewers. With the Cardinals taking the lead by 9-4, Oh took the mount on the top of the ninth inning full base, no outs, to allow four runs (one earned run), but managed to prevent a reverse, keeping the lead by 9-8. Kim Hyun-soo of the Baltimore Orioles and Kang Jung-ho of the Pittsburgh Pirates recorded two and zero hit respectively out of five batting attempts.
