After Ryu (shoulder and elbow surgeries the last two years) left his Cactus League debut, the Angels scored a two-out run off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen in the third on an RBI triple by Ben Revere, which followed a broken-bat double by Eric Young Jr.. The next inning, C.J. Cron homered off Josh Fields for a 2-0 Angels lead.
Richards, who received stem-cell treatment instead of Tommy John surgery last year, threw 48 pitches, but issued back-to-back walks to open the third, which accelerated his departure.
