Ryu sharp, Dodgers hit 3 HRs, beat Braves 6-0 in NLDS opener
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers made a surprising and much dissected decision to start Hyun-Jin Ryu over Clayton Kershaw in Game 1 of the NL Division Series.
Swell choice.
The South Korean left-hander pitched seven dominant innings and Los Angeles launched three home runs to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-0 on Thursday night.
Ryu delivered in his first post-season start since 2014. He allowed four singles — all with two outs — struck out eight and walked none.
