EDGE Analysis

Richards yielded a run in the second inning but little else as he limited Los Angeles to eight baserunners in his six frames. The right-hander threw 59 of 86 pitches for strikes and got ahead of 16 of the 23 batters he faced. Both the win and the quality start were firsts this season for Richards, who has posted a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through his first four starts. Richards is projected to make his next appearance on the road against Arizona on Sunday.
