Richards' injury

More info

FRESNO — The last time Garrett Richards ran over to cover first base in an actual baseball game, the result was catastrophic, both to his blossoming career and to the World Series hopes of the Los Angeles Angels.

It was an August night and Richards, having fully arrived as the Angels’ ace, took a tumble as he made his way to the bag. His left knee buckled. He fell to the ground in agony.
