What It Means:

Richard ran out of gas in the top of the ninth inning allowing two singles before collecting two more outs and then allowing an RBI double to Tucker Barnhart before getting pulled. Still, the veteran pitched outstanding and he has now logged five quality starts over his last seven outings.

Richard's ERA now sits at 4.30 with a 1.42 WHIP over 88.0 innings pitched this season. Our models expect him to post a 4.63 ERA with 58 strikeouts over 95.2 innings remaining this season.
