Archer on the mark in win over Twins

The Rays offensive attack supported Archer's gem with a trio of blasts. Logan Morrison and Kevin Kiermaier each deposited a two-run shot in the fourth and sixth, respectively. All but one of the four runs were charged to Twins' lefty Hector Santiago, who suffered his third loss of the season. Santiago allowed four hits over 5 1/3 innings, in which he struck out six batters and walked two.

Steven Souza Jr. added a solo shot off Matt Belisle in the eighth inning. According to Statcast™, the ball traveled an estimated 435 feet with an exit velocity of 103.
