Looking backward While Moving Forward: All Hail king Archer!

De facto ace Chris Archer put together a night to remember Tuesday – fanning 15, and tying the franchise single-game record* in the Tampa Bay Rays’ 6-1 route of the Los Angeles Angels. The team moved back to the positive side of the W/L column, and are seated just a game out of first behind the Yankees.

The Angels’ mashers belted not one, two, or three homers Monday night, rather four en route to a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Outfielder (and Subaway spokesperson) Mike Trout hit a three-run blast in the third inning, and the Angels never trailed thereafter. At 26-26, Tampa Bay is now a game behind the Yankees, in second place in the AL East.
