LOS ANGELES -- As Hyun-Jin Ryu was getting ready to board the Los Angeles Dodgers' charter flight from Philadelphia on Sunday evening, he ran into manager Don Mattingly and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt on the tarmac."I told him he had to throw a perfect game to top [Josh] Beckett," Mattingly said.We're uncertain whether an interpreter was present, but Ryu apparently took Mattingly's meaning quite literally. Either way, his response speaks louder than words:Ryu carried a perfect game into the eighth inning Monday against Cincinnati Reds before Todd Frazier doubled into the corner and foiled the Dodgers' bid to become the first team in baseball history to throw back-to-back no-hitters.
Dodgers bet heavily on pitching, defense
