Trevor Richards got a lot better at limiting walks and attacking the strike zone during his recent month-plus trip back to the minors.
It didn’t seem like it against the first two batters he faced Tuesday night.
But after issuing a pair of walks that led to a run, Richards got back on track and delivered one of the best starts of his rookie season.
The Marlins made sure it would result in Richards’ first career win after rallying a couple of innings later and holding on to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Marlins Park.
