Let's dive in to some more Topps Now cards.
September 2, 2021
I had to get this one. Garrett Richards just seemed like one of those players that cards were going to be hard to come by. He never really seemed to have a set role on the team and was not exactly dominant most of the time. He definitely seemed unlikely to get many Topps Now cards. So, I made sure to grab this one.
On September 2, the Red Sox took on the Rays in Tampa. Eduardo Rodriguez started the game and pitched well, throwing six innings of four-hit ball with no runs, one walk and six strikeouts. Boston could not muster any extra base hits but were leading 4-0. Enter Richards in the seventh, who pitched the last three innings, giving up just one hit and one walk while striking out four for a nice, three-inning save. It was his second save of the season. He finished the season 7-8 with a 4.87 ERA, three saves, 115 strikeouts versus 60 walks in 136.2 innings.

The Red Sox rolled over the Mets in Boston, winning 12-5. Trade deadline pickup Kyle Schwarber had a huge game, going 3-4 with two home runs. Apparently Schwarber owns the Mets, which I am sure the Phillies had in mind when signing him. Schwarber's other hit was a double. He drove in four runs, scored four runs and walked once. Chris Sale started the game, pitching five effective innings, giving up just two runs and striking out eight.
