Canadian media praised the pitching of Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays), who allowed only two runs at Coors Field, the “graveyard of pitchers .Toronto defeated the Colorado Rockies 13-9 in a Major League Baseball (MLB) visit to Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, USA, at an elevation of 10,610 feet (1,610 meters) on Sunday. Starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin allowed two runs on four hits, including a home run, with a walk and two strikeouts in five innings .Ryu was removed from the game with a 4-2 lead in the top of the sixth inning after fulfilling the winning pitcher requirement, but the reliever gave up a three-run homer shortly thereafter to deny him a potential fourth win of the season. Coors Field is a hitter’s paradise and a pitcher’s hell because of its low air resistance, which allows batted balls to stretch out. Ryu Hyun-jin, making his first appearance at Coors Field in four years, didn’t let that stop him from using his trademark control to limit the runs and set the stage for a comeback win. Once again, the bats of both teams came alive at Coors Field. Toronto pounded out 17 hits, including three home runs, while Colorado, which scored four runs in the ninth inning to erase the deficit, pounded out 12 hits, including two home runs. “Ryu’s five innings of two-run ball at Coors Field was the equivalent of a seven-inning no-hitter (elsewhere),” Canadian outlet Sportsnet said in its online version of the story. “Ryu could have continued into the sixth inning, but Toronto manager John Schneider had enough rested bullpen arms. “The Toronto Sun indirectly criticized umpire Angel Hernandez for the controversial call, noting that Ryu was not called a strike on several occasions. Hernandez, who is notoriously inconsistent with his strike-ball calls in the big leagues, called a perfectly good strike a ball on this day, and Ryu gave up a bizarre walk that put him in trouble. The Toronto Sun reported that Ryu gave up four hits and a two-run homer in five innings, but more importantly, Ryu gave the team what it needed before activating the bullpen, and praised Ryu for laying the groundwork for the bullpen to come out with a 4-2 lead. U.S. and Canadian media outlets that cover the organization, including MLB.com, highlighted the fact that Toronto won 13-9 to open a six-game road trip in the American West and cut its lead in the American League wild-card race to 1.5 games over the third-place Texas Rangers. Toronto’s wild-card rivals – the Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros and Texas – all lost on the day. The Jays’ lead over Houston for the second wild-card spot in the league is also down to 2.5 games. The postseason features the three district winners and the three wildcard teams with the highest winning percentage in the 토토사이트 league.
