Archer (4-9) allowed four runs, three of which were earned, on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss Friday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Despite having excellent strikeout numbers, Archer needed 107 pitches to get through six innings while the Rays' offense was unable to give him any run support, leading to his ninth loss of the season. He's now given up at least three earned runs in five of his last six starts, and he has a disappointing 4.60 ERA to go along with a 1.44 WHIP. He'll make his next start Wednesday at the Indians.
