Richards, who was sidelined the first two weeks of the campaign, is coming off of a strong start against the Texas Rangers where he allowed two runs on three hits and added three walks and five strikeouts in seven innings.
Mike Trout launched his fifth homer of the season in the third inning Wednesday and he also drove in three runs and scored twice in Los Angeles' victory. Trout is tied for the AL lead in runs (18) and ranks third in walks (14) and fifth in on-base percentage (.427). Erick Aybar had two RBI in the win for the Angels.
Shortstop Marcus Semien scored a pair of runs for the Athletics in the loss.
