ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer continued his dominance on Sunday with seven scoreless innings against the Blue Jays to earn his third win of the season.
What everybody watching did not know was that the Rays' right-hander had been sick for two days, even throwing up in between innings.
"There's some kale and quinoa in the sewer down there [leading to the Rays dugout]," Archer said.
Rays manager Kevin Cash called Archer's performance "gutsy" given the way he pitched while feeling the way he did.
"Tonight might have been his most impressive outing simply with what he was dealing with the way his body felt," said Cash noting that he had received a text from Archer on Sunday morning that said he felt better, adding that Archer then felt worse once he took the mound.
