A night after pounding New York 9-4, the Dodgers posted a
4-3 win in the Big Apple tonight as Hyun-Jin Ryu came off the disabled list
with a win and Adrian Gonzalez, Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez hit solo homers
to pace Los Angeles.
The Dodgers remain four games back of San Francisco but
picked up a game on second place Colorado with the win.
Kenley Jansen got the save in the ninth but not before
giving up a triple and a run.
Chone Figgins had a late-inning double and scored when the
Mets botched a double play ball to provide the insurance run for the Dodgers.
With Ryu and ace Clayton Kershaw back in the rotation, the
Dodgers are poised to make a run at San Francisco and Colorado. Kershaw’s
shelling in his last outing could be a cause for worry but Ryu looked strong in
his return tonight at Citi Field.
Ryu scattered nine hits over six innings and struck out nine
Mets. He surrendered a two-run homer but other than that kept New York at bay.
Zack Grienke (7-1, 2.03 ERA) takes the bump tomorrow as the
Dodgers seek a three-game sweep.
Los Angeles starts a three-game against the Phillies on
Friday before coming home next week to face the Reds and Pirates.
