Clayton Richard held the Giants to just one unearned run on five hits in eight innings Sunday, improving to 10-12 in San Diego's 7-1 victory. Richard struck out one and walked none in his fourth eight-inning outing of the year. The quality afternoon was his third in four August starts. Now the owner of a 3.73 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 87/35 K/BB ratio, Richard has racked up a ton of innings this season, tossing 176 frames across his 26 starts. He'll get the Diamondbacks in Arizona next weekend.
