Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched well but came away on the wrong side against the Cardinals.
Ryu tossed seven solid innings in the loss, allowing three runs while scattering nine hits. He struck out seven batters and walked just one on 101 pitches, but got little help in a 3-1, his fourth of the season.
Ryu had won his previous two outings, and is now 9-4 in 15 starts. He carries a 3.12 ERA into his next outing, set for Wednesday against the Indians.
