RANCHO CUCAMONGA —

Garrett Richards is again on the comeback trail.

“When you get into rehab starts, especially after being out this long, I think every outing you try to find new things that you’re trying to do that are ‘you,’” Richards said Thursday night. “I thought tonight I had a good delivery. I attacked the zone. I went right at guys. I feel really good. I felt like I could have kept going.
