Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu took the mound Monday in Arizona. Ryu was extremely quality against the Diamondbacks, but ended up taking the loss in a complete-game effort.

Ryu went eight innings in a 2-1 defeat. The lone mistake he allowed was a first-inning two-run home run off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt that held up throughout the game. He surrendered just two hits and walked a batter over 100 pitches. Ryu struck out four and his ERA is at 3.03.

The 26-year-old is nearing the end of his first season in the major leagues for the Dodgers. He's been quality the last three times he's taken the mound and continues to pitch well despite back-to-back losses and a 1-4 record in his last five outings. Ryu will make his next start Saturday at San Diego.
