TAMPA, Fla. -- Rays right-hander Chris Archer was pleased with his work Thursday afternoon in pitching six-plus innings during a Minor League game.
Archer allowed one run, five hits and two walks to go with nine strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings against Twins Minor League players in Port Charlotte. He threw 106 pitches, 72 for strikes.
"I thought it was a really good work day," Archer said. "They put the ball in play a lot, and I had to make some pitches with people on base. It was a really nice outing considering when I threw in the cage last time, there was no pressure.
