Ryu fails win, Braves beat Dodgers
Justin Upton gave Atlanta the lead with a grand slam and the Braves finally unveiled their full-strength lineup, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-5 on Friday night.
Scott Van Slyke hit two homers for the Dodgers, who led 4-2 before Upton smacked a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves to an 8-5 win over the Dodgers in the opener of a three-game set.
Dodgers rookie Ryu Hyun-jin overcame a career-high five walks to give up only two runs in five innings, but relievers Matt Guerrier and Poco Rodriguez (0-2) quickly blew the 4-2 lead in the sixth.
Ryu failed to last at least six innings for the first time in nine starts. He gave up five hits with five walks and five strikeouts.
'”All day today I was just a little off-balance,'' Ryu said through an interpreter. ''I personally feel bad that I couldn't go longer as a starter. I feel bad for my teammates that I couldn't stay out there a little longer.” (AP)
