Angels sent ace Garrett Richards back to the mound to face Rangers

ANAHEIM -- The Angels and Texas Rangers will each send their opening day starters back to the mound on Saturday night, with Garrett Richards facing Texas lefty Cole Hamels.

The Angels could use a good start from Richards, because the starters have compiled a 6.75 ERA on the way to three losses in the first four games.

Richards gave up three runs in five innings in his first start. He was good in four of his innings, but was undone by a 41-pitch fourth inning.

The Angels have no surprises in the lineup tonight, with Craig Gentry in left field against a lefty.
