The Red Sox needed a good start from Garrett Richards in this game, largely because they are facing Jacob deGrom tomorrow so picking up this win was much preferred. But even beyond that, Richards needed a good start from himself. His command has been atrocious this year, and it kind of seems like it’s been getting to him a bit, particularly after being booed off the field at Fenway last time out. Well, he was great on Tuesday. All of the stuff was working, with his curveball in particular looking filthy, and his command was on point.
Red Sox 2, Mets 1: Garrett Richards,,,, hello
