 | Saturday, October 21st, 2023: Richardson Blanks Texas
The Washington manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Bill Richardson, who had just hurled a fine 3-hit shutout over the Texas Rangers. He had 2 strikeouts and no walks in the Washington 8-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," the Texas manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
Season-to-date Richardson has rung up 21 wins and 5 losses in 32 appearances. He has an ERA of 2.61 and has fanned 184 batters in 251.1 innings.
