Major League Baseball (MLB) Toronto Blue Jays swept the Boston Red Sox with a hotly exploded batting line. It is also a good news for Ryu Hyun-jin (36), who has a day before starting pitching.
Toronto won a 13-1 away game against Boston in the 2023 Major League Baseball held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on the 7th (Korean time).

Toronto’s firepower explosion is also a good thing for Ryu Hyun-jin, who has one day before the start.
Ryu Hyun-jin will start at 8:10 a.m. on the 8th in an away game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. On the 2nd, Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the big league (5 innings, 4 runs) against the Baltimore Orioles, who had the highest win rate in the American League, faced Cleveland (54-58), who had a winning rate of less than 50%.

Even안전놀이터 at Progressive Field, he took the mound on May 29, 2021 and won with 2 runs in 5 innings in bad weather.
Cleveland transferred Josh Bell and Ahmed Rosario before the trade deadline, and Josh Naylor, the only 300 hitter, was on the injured list, so the weight of the lineup has dropped a lot.
On the contrary, the Toronto batting line boasts a feeling of high hitting. It can be seen that Ryu Hyun-jin is the best opponent to win the first win this season and the first win after returning.
