Simeon Woods Richardson gives up grand slam Friday
Simeon Woods Richardson struggled in a no-decision against the Athletics on Friday night, giving up four runs on four hits over his four innings of work.
Advice: The 23-year-old hurler also issued four free passes on the night while striking out four batters. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as Woods Richardson loaded the bases on a pair of walks and an infield single, then Shea Langeliers crushed a two-out grand slam. He settled in after that to keep the A’s off the board over his final three frames, but the damage had been done. He got seven whiffs on 80 pitches on the night, posting a minuscule CSW of 20 percent. He’ll carry a 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 46/15 K/BB ratio (54 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Rays.
