Trevor Richards stats tell you he is going to be one of the better young pitchers in the National League this season. The Miami Marlins record tells you it could still be a long season for their starter and the rest of this pitching staff.
The Cubs counter with Yu Darvish. After falling 3-1 in 14 innings in the series finale to the Philadelphia Phillies the home team will attempt to muster the beginning of a new win streak at Marlins Park.
Richards has been a strikeout machine, taking down 18 batters in the 18 innings of work this season in his first three starts.
