Trevor Richards strikes out four in short outing
Trevor Richards pitched two scoreless innings while striking out four in Tuesday’s loss to the Orioles.
Advice: Richards made his first start of the season after making his first 25 appearances out of the bullpen. Operating as more of an “opener” than a starter in this one, his 40 pitches and four strikeouts were both new highs for him on the young season. Richards needed 12 pitches to retire Ryan Mountcastle in the first innings, which significantly drove up his pitch count on the day, but he was flawless through his two innings of work. It seems unlikely that he would make another spot start, but if he does, it could come on Sunday against the Athletics.
