Archer exits with injury as Rays lose 5-4 to White Sox

CHICAGO -- Tampa Bay's Chris Archer gave up home runs to the first two batters of the game then left due to right lateral forearm tightness and the Chicago White Sox beat the Rays 5-4 on Saturday night.

Alen Hanson hit his fourth home run on Archer's second pitch of the game, and Yolmer Sanchez followed with his ninth homer to help the White Sox snap a four-game losing streak.

Archer threw just eight pitches, three for strikes, before Rays manager Kevin Cash and trainer Ron Porterfield checked on him and he left as a precaution.
