South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin of the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched his first victory Sunday in U.S. Major League Baseball.

In his second career start at Dodger Stadium against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Ryu allowed just two runs on three hits and two walks. Despite a shaky start in the first and allowing a two-run homer, he went on to strike out six batters.

Ryu left the mound after six and one-third innings with the Dodgers up 4-2 ahead of LA's 6-2 victory.
