LA Dodgers pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin has taken the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Day,... becoming just the second South Korean pitcher to get the Opening Day nod since Park Chan-ho.
With Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw out due to injury,... manager Dave Roberts named Ryu the starting pitcher in the game.
Ryu has made 13 career starts against Arizona,... and holds a record of 3 wins and 3 losses.
The 31-year-old is hoping to have a healthy season this year,... as he went 7-and-3 after missing three months with a groin injury in 2018.
