OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Garrett Richards felt some cramping in his biceps, as if someone had punched him in his pitching arm.
Richards exits with biceps cramping, Angels blank A's 5-0
The Los Angeles Angels are taking no chances after going without him most of last season, yet manager Mike Scioscia still hopes the right-hander can make his next start.
Richards pitched beautifully while making his first appearance in 11 months after an elbow injury cut short his 2016 season, but left abruptly in the fifth inning with biceps cramping before the Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0 on Wednesday night.
