BALTIMORE -- Chris Archer is trying to right the ship, and the Tampa Bay Rays hope the pitcher can do so on Thursday and help them complete a sweep of their brief two-game series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Archer comes into the game with a 1-1 record and a 6.59 ERA. He has completed at least six innings only three times in his last 11 starts dating to last season.
One of those came in his last start, when the right-hander went 6 2/3 innings, giving up two runs, four hits and one walk in a no-decision.
