Just a day after Josh Beckett's no-hitter, Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu flirted with perfection in a dominant outing against the Reds, improving to 5-2 on the year.

Ryu fired seven perfect innings and had his perfect-game and no-hit bid is broken up by Todd Frazier on his second pitch of the eighth inning. Frazier lined a double near the third base line to spark a three-run rally in the eighth. The left-hander permitted three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out seven in 7 1/3 innings. Of his 95 pitches, 66 were strikes.

Over his last two starts covering 13 1/3 innings, Ryu has allowed five earned runs. He owns a 3.10 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP through his first nine starts (52 1/3 innings). He will make his next start Saturday at home against Pittsburgh.
