류현진 7이닝 무실점 완벽투… 시즌 평균자책점 1.45로 낮춰

LA Dodgers' Ryu Hyun-jin came off the 10-day injured list with an impeccable performance to help his team win over the weekend.
And his strong form puts Ryu even closer to winning his first ever Cy Young Award.
Won Jung-hwan reports.

Back from a sore neck,… the South Korean left-handed pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin picked up right where he left off.
Ryu strengthened his leading position in the race for his first 'Cy Young' Award with seven scoreless innings at Dodger Stadium as the LA Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks by 9 runs to 3 on Sunday.
Ryu held the Diamondbacks by throwing just over 90 pitches,… and getting four strike outs.
He was on the winning side for the 12th time this season,... and lowered his 'Earned Run Average' from 1-point-53 to 1-point-45.

Ryu's ERA is beyond impressive. In fact, it is nearly a full run better than the next-best pitcher in terms of ERA,… Atlanta Braves' Mike Soroka, who ranks second with 2-point-32.
Nobody else in Major League Baseball has an ERA below 2 this year besides this Korean Monster,… and he is currently on track for the 5th lowest Earned Run Average in MLB history.

Ryu is now in the form of his career, easily outpacing his previous best of 1-point-74 ERA and 11 wins. And many experts say Ryu’s chances of becoming the first Asian athlete to win the Cy Young Award are looking very strong.
