Miami Marlins pitcher Trevor Richards in the first inning as they play the Chicago Cubs at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida, Monday, April, 15, 2019. CHARLES TRAINOR JR ctrainor@miamiherald.com
The Miami Marlins were looking for a strong start from Trevor Richards on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs after using seven relievers one night earlier in their 14-inning loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
He didn’t last five innings.
After three quality starts to open the season, Richards struggled with his command in his first and final innings, and it proved costly in the Marlins’ 7-2 loss to the Cubs to open a three-game series.
