The Red Sox head down to Queens for a three-game series against the Mets that kicks off tonight (7:10 p.m., NESN, ESPN out-of-market) as Garrett Richards looks anew to right the ship.
Richards has not been good this season, and it’s still April, sure, but barely. At some point Chris Sale is going to return or Tanner Houck is gonna push the issue and Richards will need to snap out of it if he’s gonna stay a starter. Alternatively, he could start getting better tonight and surge ahead of the problem and thus, by opposing, end it.
