Garrett Richards strikes out 11 batters in Angels win

Garrett Richards struck out eleven batters over 7.1 innings pitched while allowing four earned runs as the Angels prevailed over the Indians by one run, 5-4.

What It Means:

Richards now has a 3.46 ERA, 3.87 xFIP, and 7.06 strikeouts per nine. This was an impressive performance against an Indians team that has a fairly low 19.0 strikeout percentage against right-handed pitching this season. Our projections have Richards producing a 3.51 ERA and 6.89 strikeouts per nine for the remainder of the season.
