Hyun-Jin Ryu (back, elbow) said Sunday that he feels strong heading into his crucial start against the Cardinals in Game 3 of the NLCS on Monday night. Ryu struggled with his command while surrendering four runs over just three innings in his only start in the NLDS against the Braves. The rookie southpaw will need to step up in a big way on Monday, as falling into an 0-3 hole to the Cardinals could be insurmountable.
