Richard (5-7) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 8.2 innings pitched during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Richard was one out away from securing a complete game shutout when Tucker Barnhart connected on a two-run double in the ninth inning. Though his ERA sits at a pedestrian 4.30 following Tuesday's performance, Richard has proven to be a reliable innings-eating option for the Padres this season. The 33-year-old is averaging nearly 6.1 innings per start and has eclipsed the eight-inning threshold in three of his 14 starts this year. He'll look to build on his success when he squares off against the Cubs on Monday.
