Dodgers’ Hyun-Jin Ryu takes no-hitter into eighth, combines on one-hitter

Hyun-Jin Ryu took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Corey Seager hit a grand slam and the Dodgers beat the Nationals 6-0 on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Washington’s Gerardo Parra, who began the season with the Giants, broke up Ryu’s no-hit bid with one out in the eighth. Parra drove the left-hander’s 105th pitch deep to left-center, where it bounced on the warning track and over the wall for a ground-rule double that ended up being the Nationals’ only hit of the day.

Prior to that, the lone Washington runner was Brian Dozier, who walked with one out in the fourth.

“He used both sides of the plate and we couldn’t get anything going,” Washington manager Dave Martinez said of Ryu.

Ryu struck out nine in eight innings and threw a career-high 116 pitches, 79 for strikes. He pitched a four-hit shutout in his previous start Tuesday against Atlanta.

“The past couple of games, I have been in a good rhythm,” Ryu said through an interpreter. “I just try to use their weakness, be aggressive and attack the zone. I don’t think about having no-hit stuff. It was about executing the game plan.”

It was the second time Ryu carried a no-hitter into the eighth at Dodger Stadium. He held Cincinnati hitless in 2014 until Todd Frazier led off the eighth with a double.
