Dodgers rookie starter Hyun-Jin Ryu turned in a solid performance as he picked up his first major-league victory Sunday afternoon against the Pirates.

Ryu (1-1) gave up a first-inning, two-run homer to Andrew McCutchen before settling down and retiring 18 of the last 20 batters he faced. The left-hander worked 6 1/3 innings, giving up two run on three hits while striking out six. He also issued two walks while throwing 101 pitches, 67 for strikes.

The 26-year-old has a 2.13 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through his first two starts. He is slated to face the Diamondbacks on the road Saturday. Ryu has yet to pitch away from Dodger Stadium in his career.
