Link copied!

Woods Richardson allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two batters over one-plus inning in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

Woods Richardson had an awful first frame, falling behind 3-0 after three batters on a home run by Jake Burger. He gave up two consecutive hits after the long ball -- in all, Miami's first five batters of the game reached base against him -- but Woods Richardson managed to bounce back and retire the next three hitters, including two by strikeout, to escape without allowing any more runs. The right-hander returned for the second inning and yielded a single to each of the first two batters before he was given the hook. The outing was the shortest of the season for Woods Richardson and continued a recent trend of abbreviated starts. He hasn't completed five frames in any of his past six appearances.
