Archer struggles as Rays drop series finale

DETROIT -- The Tigers took the rubber match of their three-game series against the Rays on Sunday, winning for the sixth time in seven games, but it came at a price. Miguel Cabrera and Jordan Zimmermann both left the game with injuries, but not until after an early outburst off Rays ace Chris Archer provided all the necessary run support in a 9-4 win at Comerica Park.

The pitching duel between Archer and Zimmermann didn't last long. RBI hits from J.D. Martinez and Cabrera plated two runs before Archer recorded an out.
