DETROIT -- Chris Archer allowed two earned runs on six hits across six innings of work, racking up six strikeouts along the way, but it wasn't enough to get the Rays back to .500 for the first time since the second game of the season. Leonys Martin's fifth-inning RBI double was enough to carry the Tigers to a 2-1 win on Tuesday at Comerica Park, as Matthew Boyd (1-2) allowed just one earned run on seven hits across six innings of work.
It was just the second time this season -- twice in the last three starts -- that Archer allowed fewer than four runs.
