Greinke, Ryu as advertised in first Dodgers action
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dodgers got their first game looks Sunday at their $200 million pitch ing purchases.
Zack Greinke looked like Zack Greinke with tw o scoreless innings and two strikeouts, and h e was followed with one scoreless inning fro m Korean lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu, who overcame a two-out triple by Dewayne Wise on a hangin g curveball, a pitch two days earlier he worked on with Sandy Koufax.

Federowicz praised Ryu for his "laid-back" pre sence on the mound and quick adjustment fol lowing a high
Ryu said he got through the inning without a walk, "so I guess I succeeded. The ball felt ext ra slick for some reason. I need to get used to it."
The game was played on a cold and windy da y, but Ryu appeared comfortable during and af ter the game, until he was asked about his wei ght, which is now listed at 255 pounds after 2 15 originally. He said he's lost 11 pounds sinc e arriving in Arizona, but wouldn't confirm his current weight.
"Only I know how much I weigh," he said. "Tha t's my No. 1 secret."
When told his weight was restated for the rost er, he said: "If that's the case, I think a lot of pl ayers have to change, too."
