Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu endured some command issues as he failed to factor into the decision in Friday's contest against the Braves.

Ryu, who made his ninth start of the season, surrendered two runs in the second, including a run-scoring single to Freddy Freeman. He was charged with two runs and five hits over five innings of work. He walked a season-high five and struck out five in an 8-5 defeat.

Ryu has allowed just three runs over his last 11 2/3 innings of work. He has watched his ERA shrink from 3.71 to 3.42 over his last two starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Milwaukee.
