Dominant Performance by Richards in Oakland Win

Richards ran roughshod over the Minnesota lineup. The right-hander allowed just 4 hits over 8.2 innings, while striking out 7. With the victory, he goes to 1-0 on the season.

"We played hard and won," said Richards. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
