LOS ANGELES (CBSMiami) – Hyun-Jin Ryu has exhibited a wonderful sense of humor throughout his stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ryu showed it again Thursday by texting a picture of a bruise on his right biceps to the opposing pitcher, Miami Marlins right-hander Edinson Volquez, who hit him with a pitch in the fourth inning.
“He’s a good friend of mine. We spent some time together in L.A. when I was with the Dodgers,” said a grinning Volquez, who briefly pitched with the Dodgers during the 2013 season. “He’ll be OK.”
Yasiel Puig homered, Ryu got the win, and the Dodgers handed the woeful Marlins their fourth straight loss with a 7-2 decision on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.
