SAN DIEGO -- Clayton Richard draws the Tuesday start, and it is doubtful the San Diego Padres left-hander will tiptoe around the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup, regardless of its firepower.
Richard (2-4, 4.34 ERA) is coming off a stellar outing in which he stifled the dangerous Texas Rangers. He did so by throwing caution to the wind and his offerings into the strike zone. Richard said it was "a plan of action," and the plan worked as he ditched his passive approach for one that invited hitters to swing.
In seven innings at Texas on Thursday, Richard allowed one run on five hits.
