But Ryu was even better than that. Those seven innings, which dropped his earned-run average to 1.35, were bookended by defensive gaffes behind him. The mistakes, two in the first inning and one in the seventh, forced him to labor more than he should have. They generated the only jams he encountered and required him to get more than 21 outs. But all they did was potentially cost him a chance to pitch the eighth inning.
