ST. LOUIS • That lineup the Cardinals crafted and authored to go up against lefty Hyun Jin-Ryu had the matchup it wanted for one time through the lineup.
Ryu pulled up from the mound and walked awkwardly back toward second base before facing Miles Mikolas in the bottom of the second inning. Teammates converged. Trainers arrived. And Ryu's evening was over before he had faced the ninth hitter of the game. Ryu's apparent injury -- he missed time last year with a groin injury -- forced the Dodgers to turn to their bullpen after only four outs.
