The LA Dodgers' South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin will be starting the first game of the National League Division Series.
The Dodgers say.... the left-hander will be first to the mound at this year's postseason game,… replacing his teammate, Clayton Kershaw, who has started eight of the Dodgers' past 10 postseason games.
This will be Ryu's first postseason appearance since 2014,.... as he was out for the team for the last three years due to surgeries on his shoulder and elbow.
The first postseason game against the Atlanta Braves gets underway shortly after 9:30 AM on Friday morning, Korea time.
