Archer Solid, Molina Swipes A Bag, and the Rays Are Shutdown, 6-1

Granted the Rays took it on the chin thanks to an eighth inning meltdown by the recently reassigned Sam Runion, starter Chris Archer put together a decent outing Friday, slashing 4.2 IP/4 H/1R/1 BB/WP/HBP/6 K on 74 pitches (47 strikes). Granted his location was somewhat lacking, as exemplified by the walk, wild pitch, hit-by-pitch and K/BB ratio, Archer did a good job limiting the damage — ultimately holding the Braves to one run. I’m not certain if you could ask for anything else.
